We hear three popular works for violin and orchestra: the Sibelius Violin Concerto, Tchaikovsky’s Sérénade mélancolique, and the Poème, Op. 25 by Ernest Chausson.
Excerpts from Mozart’s orchestration of Handel’s Messiah are performed by soloists, the Huddersfield Choral Society, and the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra conducted by Sir Charles Mackerras.
