Dvořák's New World Symphony

Michael Sanderling conducts the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra in Dvořák's Symphony No. 9, and they are joined by Ethan Loch to perform Chopin's Piano Concerto No. 2.

Big sounds and tender feelings. Copland’s Fanfare for the Common Man is pure optimism from wartime America, wrought from great shining beams of brass and percussion. The young Chopin wasn’t short of confidence either, and his gloriously dreamy Second Piano Concerto has to be one of the most exquisite love letters ever penned by a young genius to his sweetheart. BBC Young Musician 2022 finalist Ethan Loch joins the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra as soloist: his energy and imagination make him the perfect partner for guest conductor Michael Sanderling. And the concert reaches a climax with Dvořák’s ever-popular 9th Symphony, “From The New World”.
