Broadcasts
Broadcast on BBC FOUR The brilliant Music Director of the Los Angeles Philharmonic returns to conduct the BBC SO in orchestral excerpts from Berlioz's great Shakespearean work Romeo and Juliet. Ravel's homage to early French dance forms is reflected in the opening 'Imaginary slow French court dance' of Salonen's new Piano Concerto, after whose recent world premiere the New York Times critic wrote of the 'giddy pleasure of hearing Mr Salonen evoking, appropriating and downright stealing the music he loves … to produce something excitingly original.'
