There aren’t many concertos written for mallet, but tonight we’ll hear a selection by Alexis Alrich, Karl Jenkins and Ned Rorem performed by acclaimed percussionist Evelyn Glennie. We’ll also hear settings of early twentieth century German orchestral songs, recorded with mezzo-soprano Christine Rice, tenor Stuart Skelton and the BBC Symphony Orchestra conducted by Edward Gardner.
