Series 2: Grieg’s Piano Concerto with Zee Zee
Three pieces of music with a magical and mythical air are conjured up by conductor Lionel Bringuier and the BBC National Orchestra of Wales.\n\nMade famous by Disney’s film Fantasia, Paul Dukas's Sorcerer’s Apprentice tells the story of a broom that magically comes to life and causes chaos in the sorcerer’s workshop.\n\nThen Edvard Grieg’s Piano Concerto, a dazzling Norwegian enchantment that was the only concerto Grieg completed in his lifetime, played here by the pianist Zee Zee.\n\nAnd Rimsky-Korsakov’s Scheherazade, inspired by a collection of Middle Eastern folk tales known as One Thousand and One Nights. The music’s savage beauty tells the story of a woman whose life is in the hands of her husband, the murderous Sultan.
