Dvorak’s “New World” from the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra

Mark Forrest brings you another afternoon of live music and specially recorded performances from around the UK. In today’s programme, there’s more from the Barber Series of Lunchtime Concerts at the University of Birmingham, featuring a Radio 3 New Generation Artist, the flautist Elizaveta Ivanova, with the world premiere of a brand new commission by Emily Hall.

You can also hear more recent live recordings from the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra – this afternoon it’s Dvorak’s ever popular Symphony No.9 “From the New World” and another symphony by Tchaikovsky – his first, subtitled “Winter Dreams”. And we’ll also hear from two more of Radio 3’s current crop of New Generation Artists – clarinettist Oleg Shebeta-Dragan plays a set of Three Romances by Schumann, and the NOVO Quartet performs Shostakovich's String Quartet No.9.
