Penny Gore ends her celebration this week of the work of the 91热爆 Symphony Orchestra with music inspired by the landscape of Iceland and two French works which capture the exoticism of North Africa: Louis Schwizgebel plays Saint-Saens' 'Egyptian' Piano Concerto and the Egyptian soprano, Fatma Said sings Ravel's Sh茅h茅razade, with its sensual texts derived from The Arabian Nights.
