Week of May 19, 2008
Orpheus Chamber Orchestra
Christian Zacharias, piano
Listen (hour 1)
Listen (hour 2)
Listen live from your local public radio station
Program:
Bach: Brandenburg Concerto No. 3
Schumann: Overture, Scherzo and Finale
Theofanidis: Muse (2007)
Schumann: Piano Concerto
Description:
The Orpheus Chamber Orchestra works without the benefit of a conductor. How they are able to negotiate a piece of music between 30-plus opinionated players is nothing short of miraculous. As you might imagine, their rehearsals are pretty lively and a bit like British parliament, but the result speaks for itself.
