Bach: Goldberg Variations

Beatrice Rana (piano)

23-year-old Italian Rana, a silver medallist at the 2013 Van Cliburn Competition, is one of the most talked-about pianists to have appeared on the scene in recent years, and joined the Radio 3 New Generation Artist in 2015. Since then Gramophone magazine has described her as an artist who 'possesses an old soul that belies her years, and more than a touch of genius'.

Shostakovich. S10 - Sakari Oramo (03.02.2017-Live-London) FLAC

BBC Symphony Orchestra - Kabalevsky, Michael Zev Gordon, Shostakovich
Radio 3 in Concert

Sakari Oramo conducts the BBC Symphony Orchestra at the Barbican in an evening of Kabalevsky, Shostakovich's Tenth Symphony and the premiere of Michael Zev Gordon's Violin Concerto, with soloist Carolin Widmann.

Recorded on 3 February 2017.

19.30
Dmitri Kabalevsky: Colas Breugnon (Overture)
Michael Zev Gordon: Violin Concerto (BBC commission: world premiere)

20.00 Interval
Robert Schumann: Violin Sonata No.1 in a minor Op.105
Carolin Widmann (violin), Dénes Várjon (piano)

20.20
Dmitri Shostakovich: Symphony No 10 in E minor

Thrills and high drama are guaranteed with Kabalevsky's rip-roaring overture and Shostakovich's powerful Tenth Symphony, all conducted by the BBC Symphony Orchestra's Chief Conductor Sakari Oramo. Kabalevsky's piece, full of fizz and pop, is followed by a very different work, Michael Zev Gordon's new violin concerto - a work of rich lyrical power with bold contrasts of colour and expression - and performed here with the acclaimed German violinist Carolin Widmann.
Shostakovich's Tenth Symphony, a heartfelt cry for freedom written under the looming presence of Joseph Stalin, is one of the 20th century's most shattering symphonic experiences.

Bruckner: Symphony No. 7 in E major

Igor Levit (piano)
Royal Scottish National Orchestra
Peter Oundjian (conductor)

Former BBC Radio 3 New Generation Artist Igor Levit made his Proms debut at a Cadogan Hall chamber music recital in 2012. Now he makes his Proms concerto debut in Mozart's poignantly delicate No. 27, completing this year's series of late great Mozart piano concertos. Delicacy gives way to orchestral weight and heft in Bruckner's popular Seventh Symphony, its beautiful Adagio a tribute to Wagner, and a finale that, according to composer Robert Simpson, 'blends solemnity and humour in festive grandeur'.
