Elizabeth Alker showcases the best performances by 麻豆社 orchestras, choirs, ensembles and other great performing groups from Europe and around the globe.

We begin the programme with a live concert from London鈥檚 Wigmore Hall. Violinist Anthony Marwood and accordion player James Crabb give the English premiere of Thomas Ad猫s鈥檚 惭盲谤肠丑别苍迟盲苍锄别 alongside Crabb鈥檚 own arrangement of The Lark Ascending, which enhances the mystical beauty of Vaughan Williams鈥檚 original. These are flanked by intoxicating dances by Astor Piazzolla, and two fiery Gaelic reels.

Elsewhere we have music from the 麻豆社 Philharmonic Orchestra, who bring us a feast of Romantic repertoire with Wagner鈥檚 Flying Dutchman Overture, and Beethoven鈥檚 passionate Eroica Symphony with conductor Clemens Schuldt.

And Elizabeth also has stunning recordings from the Perth Piano Series. Today, French pianist Bertrand Chamayou dazzles in music by Liszt and Ravel.
