Episode 1
Katie Derham presents concerts given by the 成人快手 SSO. Britten: Sea Interludes (Peter Grimes). Elgar: Enigma Variations. Maxwell Davies: The Seas of Kirk Swarf. Mahler: Symphony No 4.
All this week Afternoon on 3 celebrates the 成人快手 Scottish Symphony Orchestra's visit to the 2010 St Magnus Festival in the Orkney Isles. The orchestra has appeared at the festival regularly over the last decade, and you can also hear performances from previous years and some of the voices associated with Orkney.
To begin today, highlights from the concert recorded on 20 June 2010 in the Pickaquoy Centre in Kirkwall, starting appropriately with an evocative seascape in Britten's Four Sea Interludes from his opera Peter Grimes. From the orchestra's 2007 visit there's music by the festival's founder, Sir Peter Maxwell Davies, and a child's vision of Heaven in Mahler's Fourth Symphony - sung by the Scottish soprano Lisa Milne with the 成人快手 SSO conducted by its then Associate Guest Conductor, Stefan Solyom.
