Songs of the Auvergne

The Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra under its Chief Conductor Domingo Hindoyan present an all-French programme of music from the Philharmonic Hall in Liverpool, which includes Joseph Canteloube's ravishing settings of French folksong, the Songs of the Auvergne, performed with soprano Carolyn Sampson. Also on the programme is music by Maurice Ravel and a rare opportunity to hear the symphony by Paul Dukas, the composer best known for his fantastical and much loved tone poem The Sorcerer's Apprentice.
Introduced by Linton Stephens.
