Tchaikovsky鈥檚 4th Symphony at the Proms and soprano Elizabeth Llewellyn from the Edinburgh International Festival

Tom McKinney with exclusive recordings from this year's Edinburgh International Festival and the 成人论坛 Philharmonic and Stefan Dohr at the Proms.

Today鈥檚 Classical Live includes another chance to hear Wednesday night鈥檚 Prom featuring horn player Stefan Dohr and the 成人论坛 Philharmonic conducted by John Storg氓rds.

The programme begins with Schumann鈥檚 much-overlooked dramatic overture for his opera on the medieval legend of St Genevieve of Brabant, Genoveva. Following this, Hans Abrahamsen鈥檚 Horn Concerto and the brusque drama of Sibelius鈥 symphonic fantasia Pohjola鈥檚 Daughter. The Prom ends with Tchaikovsky鈥檚 epic Symphony No. 4.

To start today鈥檚 Classical Live, soprano Elizabeth Llewellyn makes her Edinburgh International Festival debut at the Queen鈥檚 Hall, joined by recital partner, pianist Simon Lepper. Together they present a treasury of late Romantic song.
