Logo for Performance on 3 - RSNO, Stephane Deneve

Presented by Ian Skelly Stéphane Denève conducts the RNSO and Natalie Clein in Schumann's Symphony No4 Elgar's Cello Concerto and Janáček's Taras Bulba. The RSNO completes its cycle of Schumann symphonies with the Fourth, one of the most innovative and influential of all his works by reason of its extraordinary structure in which all four movements are thoroughly integrated. Natalie Clein joins the Orchestra for the stirring, elegiac Elgar Cello Concerto. And, to bring the orchestra's current season to a spectacular close, Janáček's powerful orchestral rhapsody Taras Bulba: a true celebration of the insurmountable Cossack spirit.
