The Full Works Concert - Friday 22 February 2013: Great Orchestras of the World

Tonight, Antonio Pappano is on the podium for an evening of music from his Orchestra of the Academy of St. Cecilia.

We’ll begin with their most recent recording: a critically-acclaimed performance of Dvorak’s Symphony No.9 (‘From the New World’), before going on to enjoy Respighi’s The Fountains of Rome and Tchaikovsky’s Francesca di Rimini.  Plus – Han-Na Chang joins the orchestra for a beautiful cello piece by Glazunov, and there’s some moody Russian music in the form of Liadov’s orchestral piece The Enchanted Lake.
