In Tune - 05/09/2008

As we lead up to the last week of the Proms, pianist Stephen Hough talks about his appearance at Prom 68, and conductor Ingo Metzmacher joins Rod Gilfry in previewing their five-hour-long performance in Prom 70. Plus there's music performed in the studio from the Fauré Quartet. They're soon to perform at the Wigmore Hall, and we welcome the venue Director, John Gilhooly, who previews their new season. 1702:22 MESSIAEN Saint Francis (excerpt) Halle Orchestera/Kent Nagano DG 445 176-2 CD.3 T.3 10” 1703:10 LISZT At the Lake of Wallenstadt Stephen Hough, piano HYPERION CDA67424 T.2 3’07” 17.11.14 TORELLI Trumpet Concerto in D major “Estienne Roger” Alison Balsom, trumpet German Chamber Philharmonic, Bremen EMI 2 16213 0 T.7-9 5’42” 17.17.31 DVORAK PIANO QUARTET OP.87 1ST MVT.
