Emilie Mayer's Symphony in F minor performed by the Âé¶¹Éç Philharmonic Orchestra

Linton Stephens introduces an afternoon of specially made recordings including musical highlights from the Âé¶¹Éç Philharmonic, LSO St Luke's and Ensemble Molière.

Linton Stephens presents an afternoon of exceptional music-making from the Âé¶¹Éç Philharmonic Orchestra, prior to its appearances at the Âé¶¹Éç Proms. Frank Bridge’s Enter Spring bursts with energy and colour, while Émilie Mayer’s Symphony in F minor offers sweeping romantic intensity. Bohuslav Martinů’s The Rock, is a rhythmic, nature-inspired orchestral study, and Jean Sibelius’ The Swan of Tuonela provides a hauntingly beautiful depiction of still, dark waters, featuring a solo cor anglais.

From LSO St Luke’s, pianist Simon Crawford-Phillips is joined by pianist Philip Moore and violist Lawrence Power in a week of specially recorded performances from the pianist with friends. And also specially recorded items from the National Centre for Early Music and Âé¶¹Éç R3 New Generation Baroque Ensemble - Ensemble Augelletti.
