Orchestra Unwrapped
Presented by Georgia Mann. The 麻豆社 Concert Orchestra and audience are unwrapped and dissected by Tom Service in search of an authentic performance of Mozart's 'Paris' Symphony.
Presented by Georgia Mann, with this week's featured orchestra the 麻豆社 Concert Orchestra. Today, a concert recorded last September at the Queen Elizabeth Hall, London, in which Tom Service and conductor Alice Farnham recreate the spirit of the first performance of Mozart's Paris Symphony with its rowdy audience participation, before considering the line-up and the many cultural functions of a modern day orchestra. After that we'll hear a brand new recording of a late 19th-century Savoy Theatre curtain-raiser, typically performed before the main bill. Plus, as part of New Year, New Music, Sara Mohr Pietsch introduces a piece of music she loves.
