CBSO - Strauss, Copland, Rachmaninov

From Symphony Hall, Birmingham, the CBSO conducted by Andrew Gourlay. Strauss: Don Juan. Copland: Clarinet Concerto (with Oliver Janes). Rachmaninov: Symphony No 3.

Tom Redmond introduces a concert from Symphony Hall, Birmingham, given by the CBSO, conducted by Andrew Gourlay. The programme includes Richard Strauss's blazingly romantic and virtuosic tone-poem Don Juan, Aaron Copland's jazz-infused Clarinet Concerto with the orchestra's principal clarinettist Oliver Janes as soloist, and Rachmaninov's sumptuous, bitter-sweet Third Symphony.

PART ONE

Copland worked on his Clarinet Concerto whilst in Rio de Janeiro, and its last movement shows the influence of some of the music he heard there.
