This Sunday, July 9th, WRTI’s Philadelphia Orchestra in Concert broadcast at 1 pm brings back to the podium the Orchestra’s Conductor-in Residence Cristian M?celaru for the last broadcast of the 2016-17 season.
The program begins with one of the fantastical little orchestral miniatures by Anatol Liadov, Kikimora, the witch-like phantom of Slavic folklore.
Before intermission, the French violinist Renaud Capuçon is the soloist in a performance of Erich Korngold’s Violin Concerto, which takes passages from four of his pre-existing film scores of the 1930s, the perfect amalgam of Korngold’s symphonic and film music.
After intermission, it's Tchaikovsky’s ever-popular Symphony No. 5, a work the Philadelphia Orchestra has performed as often as any piece of music in history, and has recorded no fewer than eight times!
During intermission, Debra Lew Harder speaks with Renaud Capuçon, and Susan Lewis talks backstage with Maestro M?celaru.
Don’t miss our last broadcast of the Philadelphia Orchestra’s 2016-17 season! That’s Sunday, July 9th, from 1 to 3 pm on WRTI, and listen to an encore broadcast. Monday, July 10th at 1 pm on our classical stream and HD-2.
