Sibelius's 2nd Symphony with the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra

Linton Stephens showcases the best performances by BBC orchestras, choirs, ensembles and other great performing groups from Europe and around the globe.

This week, Classical Live explores the world of the Coleridge-Taylors: daughter Avril and father Samuel; and we have exclusive concert recordings from star South Korean Concert pianist Seong-Jin Cho at LSO St Luke’s.

On today’s programme some Chopin Waltzes by Seong-Jin Cho, and he’s also joined by Sunwook Kim for Mozart’s Sonata for Piano Four-Hands in F Major. Ludovic Morlot conducts the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra in Sibelius’s Second Symphony, and we’ll hear from a major figure in the history of African-American music, Henry Thacker Burleigh.
