To be announced narrator
Ryan Wigglesworth conductor
Early one morning, Peter opened the gate
and went out into the big green meadow… and if you know Prokofiev’s “symphonic
tale for children”, you’ll already be humming that tune. Age doesn’t matter
with music as enjoyable as this! With Chief Conductor Ryan Wigglesworth and a
charismatic narrator, it’s a perfect finale to a whole concert of music at its
most playful, witty and wise.
Aaron Copland salutes a great American
statesman, and crams a whole symphony into 15 primary-coloured minutes: a
mini-masterpiece from the decade that saw the birth of the BBC SSO. In between,
BBC Radio 3’s New Generation Artist Sterling Elliott sings and sparkles his way
through Tchaikovsky’s delightful showpiece for cello and orchestra.
