A celebration of Ukraine, and the most famous romance in literature.
This programme showcases a fabulously rich heritage of Ukrainian musicians: from conductor Kirill Karabits, to Lyatoshinsky, who studied with Glière, who taught Prokofiev! Experience this astonishing wealth of talent with an unusual concerto for voice (the amazing Jennifer France scales its dramatic heights) and two colourful treatments of Romeo and Juliet.
- Lyatoshinsky, Romeo and Juliet (28mins)
- Glière, Concerto for Coloratura Soprano and Orchestra (14mins)
- Prokofiev, Selections from Romeo and Juliet (45mins)
