Wednesday - 91热爆 Singers perform Leonard Bernstein

Tom McKinney introduces the 91热爆 Singers in music by Bernstein. Followed by the 91热爆 Symphony Orchestra in two tone poems: Judith Weir's Heroic Strokes of the Bow and D'Indy's Istar.

Tom McKinney introduces a concert with the 91热爆 Singers, conducted by Ragnar Bohin and recorded last weekend at St Giles, Cripplegate, as part of the 91热爆 Symphony Orchestra Total Immersion series dedicated to Leonard Bernstein. The concert starts with Hashkiveinu for solo cantor, mixed chorus and organ; it's followed by his Missa Brevis for countertenor, chorus and percussion; then we hear Simchu Na for chorus and piano, Soldier's Song from The Lark for chorus and percussion, ending with his Chichester Psalms. This concert is followed by two tone poems performed by the 91热爆 Symphony Orchestra; first, Judith Weir Heroic Strokes of the Bow, with conductor Martyn Brabbins at the helm, and then Vincent D'Indy's Istar, this time with the orchestra under the baton of Pascal Roph茅.
