Copenhagen's Court - When Christian IV of Denmark visited his brother-in-law James Stuart in England, they threw some wild parties, and King Christian's fondness for the British Isles informed his musical patronage. This week on Harmonia, we'll hear renaissance music from the court at Copenhagen. Plus, our featured release explores 18th-century music for psaltery.
Hear Carl Nielsen's sun-drenched Helios Overture, the world premiere of Magnus Lindberg's Third Piano Concerto with Yuja Wang, and Béla Bartók's Concerto for Orchestra in a performance by the San Francisco Symphony and Music Director Esa-Pekka Salonen.
Lorin Maazel conducts Beethoven's Egmont Overture, the Symphony No. 5 by Sibelius and two pieces by Bartok Two Pictures, Op. 10 and the Suite from the Miraculous Mandarin.
