Dmitry SitkovetskyGUEST
And it turned out to be his last concert in, in Moscow in '56.
Dmitry SitkovetskyGUEST
So later on, I made a rather important recording, uh, of that with the BBC Symphony and Andrew Davis, and I played it with all the great orchestras, Berlin Philharmonic, New York Philharmonic, you name it.
Dmitry SitkovetskyGUEST
So, uh, that was certainly a very important, uh, piece for me.
Dmitry SitkovetskyGUEST
And then when I came back to Moscow after Perestroika started, and that was also the concerto that I played.
Daniel GundlachHOST
First up is the Irish soprano Heather Harper.
Daniel GundlachHOST
A few years ago, I found a live recording of her with Pierre Boulez leading the BBC Symphony Orchestra in Alban Berg's Altenberg Lieder.
Daniel GundlachHOST
This was a live recording that was published on Melodia Records, and I was so excited when I got my hands on it.
Daniel GundlachHOST
But guess what? I just found out that she sang a second work on that concert, the so-called Drei Bruchstücke aus Wotzek, that is, the three fragments from his opera Wotzek, two of which feature the soprano.
Martin CullingfordHOST
We then move on to the orchestral category, which this year is sponsored by Arkham.

And a name who, uh, is increasingly propping up in our, our awards and our pages and, and absolutely rightly so, and that's the music of Grazyna Bacewicz, and this is volume two of orchestral works recorded by Sakari Orma, who's been one of her great advocates, um, and that's with the BBC Symphony Orchestra and on Chandos.
Martin CullingfordHOST
I really enjoyed this.
Martin CullingfordHOST
I mean, she's, she's a wonderful writer for orchestra.
Pete LetankaGUEST
I mean, practically, this is a piece that's going to be published by Trinity.
Pete LetankaGUEST
I wrote it for sort of grade four to six level orchestras, but it's been recorded twice by the BBC Symphony Orchestra and then again by the BBC Concert Orchestra.
Pete LetankaGUEST
And so it's kind of, you know, it is for everybody.
Pete LetankaGUEST
What I'm hoping it sparks is...
Flora WillsonHOST
[laughs]Part of the Chorus Waltz from Act Two of La rondine in its final 1921 version.
Flora WillsonHOST
We were listening to the BBC Singers and BBC Symphony Orchestra conducted by Carlo Rizzi, and that's from the complete recording coming soon on the Opera Rara label.

Dylan, it's so gloriously-
Ditlev RindomGUEST
It is

Her song Stratus turned up in Sofia Coppola's movie Priscilla.
RossHOST
Apple, Chanel, and the BBC Orchestra have all commissioned her.
RossHOST
And somewhere amidst all of this, she runs a record label called Touch the Plants while also hosting a radio show on NTS.
RossHOST
Now she's made something that breaks from all of it.
Elizabeth AlkerGUEST
And we see this all over Europe.
Elizabeth AlkerGUEST
As we still see today, you know, the new composers still go into Maida Vale Studios, for instance, to work with the BBC Symphony Orchestra.
Elizabeth AlkerGUEST
That tradition had been established.
Elizabeth AlkerGUEST
And then they were going in perhaps to work with the orchestra to do like the soundtrack for a drama or whatever it might be.
