Radio 3 in Concert

Ian Skelly presents a concert from Lindahl Auditorium at Orchestra Hall in Minneapolis, with Thomas Søndergård conducting the Minnesota Orchestra and soloist Bruce Liu in Prokofiev's dazzling Piano Concerto No 3, as well as Rachmaninov's Symphonic Dances. Founded in 1903, the orchestra was one of the first to embrace radio broadcasts under conductors such as Bruno Walter and former music directors Eugene Ormandy and Dimitri Mitropoulos, before finding an international following with its benchmark state-of-the-art recordings with Antal Dorati. More recent principal conductors have included Neville Marriner and Osmo Vänskä and the post has been filled since 2023 by Søndergård. Carlos Simon: Four Black American Dances. Prokofiev: Piano Concerto No 3 in C, Op 26. Interval. Rachmaninov: Symphonic Dances, Op 45. Bruce Liu (piano), Minnesota Orchestra, Thomas Søndergård (conductor).
