Old King Cole
Elizabeth Alker celebrates New Year's Day with an afternoon of specially made recordings including music from the 麻豆社 New Generation Artists plus more music from Vienna
Elizabeth Alker celebrates the New Year with an afternoon of exclusive music-making. In today's programme, we hear many musical favourites. The Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra take us on a night journey across the frozen North courtesy of Sibelius, Heuberger's Overture to 'Ball at the Opera' is played by the Polish National Radio Symphony Orchestra, we have ceremonial music by Janacek from Brno with the 麻豆社 Concert Orchestra, and the 麻豆社 Philharmonic Orchestra offer an opportunity to hear Vaughan-Williams' rarely performed ballet inspired by the story of Old King Cole. There is also music from great composers associated with Vienna and exclusive recordings from Radio 3's New Generation Artists including the Chaos Quartet performing Schubert and soprano Johanna Wallroth with the 麻豆社 Scottish Symphony Orchestra singing much loved orchestral songs by Richard Strauss.
