BBC Symphony Orchestra - T01715496303

The BBC Symphony Orchestra's Principal Guest Conductor, David Robertson, makes the first of two appearances this season. Between Mozart's final operatic overture and the most determinedly optimistic of Haydn's 'London' symphonies come two contrasting works by Bartók: the unusually mellow and good-humoured Piano Concerto No. 3, featuring distinguished pianist Richard Goode, and the compact burst of fierce vocal virtuosity in which Bartók retells the Romanian coming-of-age parable of nine young hunters fleeing their roost. Finish time: approx. 21:30Conductor David Robertson. Company BBC Singers. Company BBC Symphony Chorus. Company BBC Symphony Orchestra. Performer Richard Goode (piano). Performer Alan Oke (tenor). Performer Ashley Holland (baritone).

West-Eastern Divan Orchestra - T1077957644

Our celebration of the West-Eastern Divan Orchestra's 10th anniversary ends with Beethoven's only foray into the operatic form. Fidelio is at once a passionate protest against political injustice and a paean to the power of human love. Conducted by Daniel Barenboim, it is sung in German by an international cast, using the English narration written by the orchestra's co-founder, the late Edward Said, in which the opera's heroine describes the events of the day in which she single-handedly rescued her husband from illegal incarceration and summary execution. There will be one interval. Approx finish time: 22:15. Broadcast at 20:10 on BBC Two and live on BBC Radio 3.Performer Waltraud Meier (Leonore). Performer Simon O'Neill (Florestan). Performer Peter Mattei (Don Pizarro). Performer John Tomlinson (Sir - Rocco). Performer Adriana Kucerova (Marzelline). Performer Stephen Rugamer (Jacquino). Performer Viktor Rud (Don Fernando). Company BBC Singers. Company Geoffrey Mitchell Choir. Company West-Eastern Divan Orchestra. Conductor Daniel Barenboim.
