Concerto Antico

Evening Music | May 6, 2010
Tonight we'll hear British composer Richard Harvey's delightful "Concerto Antico" (Antique Concerto). Written for guitarist John Williams (who performs it here), "Concerto Antico" is a suite of old dance tunes and songs for guitar and orchestra from different parts of Europe. Paul Daniel conducts the London Symphony Orchestra in this World Premiere recording.

Also, another World Premiere recording on the plate tonight: James Sedares leads the Louisville Orchestra in Ellen Taafe Zwilich's atmospherically moody Symphony No. 3, a work written for the 150th Anniversary of the New York Philharmonic in 1992.
