Remembering Sir Peter Maxwell Davies / Dvorak's Symphony No. 8

Classical Now

Available for 13 days

Jamie MacDougall has a concert recording from the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra performing Dvořák's Symphony No. 8 in G major. And we remember composer Sir Peter Maxwell Davies, who passed away ten years ago this month, with music performed by Sean Shibe and the Scottish Chamber Orchestra. Plus music from a brand new recording from clarinetist Jean Johnson and pianist Steven Osborne, alongside a concert recording of Also Sprach Zarathustra by the Royal Scottish National Orchestra.
