Bach Organ Recital - T467563485

Bach Day moves on to the Royal Albert Hall for its third concert, as David Briggs, Organist Emeritus at Gloucester Cathedral, mixes solo organ works -including the great C minor Passacaglia and Fugue - with arrangements of pieces better known in their original guise. These include the cantata movement 'Sheep may safely graze', popularised by Myra Hess in her piano version, and Briggs's own arrangement of the best known of Bach's orchestral suites, containing the popular 'Air on the G String'. A number of the works in this early-evening organ recital go on to receive the orchestral treatment in tonight's Bach Day climax. Finish time: approx. 18:00Performer David Briggs (organ).

BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra - T01171874978

The BBC Scottish SO, under Chief Conductor Ilan Volkov, pair two Diaghilev commissions. With its pounding rhythms, cataclysmic upheavals and savage scenario of a young girl dancing herself to death, Stravinsky's The Rite of Spring is still genuinely earthshattering - no wonder Nijinsky's 1913 production provoked a riot. Begun as a homage to the Viennese waltz but twisted by his wartime experiences into a darker vision of a society whirling to disaster, Ravel's La valse was actually rejected by Diaghilev and only finally staged in the year of his death, choreographed by Nijinsky's sister Bronislava. Unsuk Chin's new Cello Concerto was written specially for Alban Gerhardt, an early member of Radio 3's New Generation Artists scheme. Approx. finish time: 21:55Conductor Ilan Volkov. P:Alban Gerhardt (cello).
