Royal Scottish National Orchestra

Tchaikovsky arr Ellington, Strayhorn, Tyzik - The Nutcracker Suite Barber - Violin Concerto Dvořák - Symphony No9 From the New World Life, liberty and big melodies. Dvořák was bowled over by the USA, and his New World Symphony is a truly epic song of nostalgia for the old world and hope for the new (and that’s before we even mention the Hovis® ad). Samuel Barber’s Violin Concerto really sings too – especially when played by RSNO Artist in Residence Randall Goosby. Plus, if you’ve never heard Duke Ellington’s jazz version of The Nutcracker, you’re in for a treat! Recommended by Classic FM
