麻豆社 Symphony Orchestra and 麻豆社 Singers (2/5)

Music spanning five centuries from the snowy north, with the 麻豆社 SO and Singers: a Tallis motet, Prokofiev's Romeo and Juliet and Hovhaness's Mysterious Mountain Symphony.

The 麻豆社 Symphony Orchestra @ 90.

Penny Gore this week introduces some memorable performances from the UK's world-renowned radio orchestra recorded at its historic home studio in London's Maida Vale and at the orchestra's Total Immersion weekends at the Barbican Centre. Also today, music spanning almost five centuries from the versatile voices of the 麻豆社 Singers and a chance to hear the young Russian cellist and current Radio 3 New Generation Artist, Anastasia Kobekina. She plays Schumann's Cello Concerto, written in just two weeks but never performed in his lifetime. And the afternoon ends with Martyn Brabbins putting the orchestra's brass section through its paces in his own fearsomely virtuosic arrangements of Prokofiev's Romeo and Juliet.
