The Full Works Concert - Monday 3 December 2012: Autumn Releases

If you’re stuck for Christmas present ideas, Jane Jones can help this week as she dedicates the Full Works Concerts to the very best classical releases from this autumn!

Jane picks out a range of five-star albums, beginning with a simply stunning recording of Beethoven’s Symphony No.7 from the Orchestre Revolutionnaire et Romantique conducted by John Eliot Gardiner.  We’ll then hear Mozart’s delightful Piano Concerto No.9 (‘Jeunehomme’) from Mozart In-Between, a former Classic FM Album of the Week featuring the Israeli pianist David Greilsammer.  And tonight’s concert concludes with something of a Classic FM discovery: the beautiful Symphony No.2 by Johann Svendsen.
