Radio 3 in Concert: The North German Radio Philharmonic at 75

Fiona Talkington introduces two of the concerts given this summer at the NDR Elbphilharmonie Orchestra's home to mark its 75th anniversary. In the first, the orchestra is joined by the Mexican conductor Carlos Miguel Prieto and star trumpeter Håkan Hardenberger for a performance of a trumpet concerto by Bernd Alois Zimmermann premiered by this orchestra in 1955. The score is based on the spiritual `Nobody knows de trouble I see", a sign of solidarity with the oppressed black population of the USA. And in the second concert, they are directed by Alan Gilbert, their current Principal, who moved from the New York Philharmonic to join them in 2019. Falla: Suite from El amor brujo.
