Alexander Glazunov's 4th Symphony

Linton Stephens showcases the best performances by BBC orchestras, choirs, ensembles and other great performing groups from Europe and around the globe.

This week, Classical Live explores the world of the Coleridge-Taylors: daughter Avril and father Samuel; and we have exclusive concert recordings from star South Korean Concert pianist Seong-Jin Cho at LSO St Luke’s.

On today’s programme Samantha Ege, the BBC Philharmonic Orchestra and John Andrews kick things off with Avril Coleridge-Taylor’s Piano Concerto in F Minor; we’ll also hear from Samuel Coleridge-Taylor and Alexander Glazunov. Plus there is more from Seong-Jin Cho’s Chopin recital at LSO St Luke’s, as we’ll hear a selection of waltzes and a nocturne.
