The Irish Chamber Orchestra presents a broadcast of its first performance in Limerick in seven months in this, its 50th anniversary year with a line-up of firm favourites. Finghin Collins joins Katherine Hunka and the ICO along with ace accordionist, Dermot Dunne.
The third Brandenburg Concerto is a baroque roller-coaster from start to finish. RTĒ Lyric fm generously commissioned a new work, Luasc by Ryan Molloy, to celebrate 50 years of the Irish Chamber Orchestra. Finghin Collins performs Mozart’s lyrical and very playful Piano Concerto No. 12, full of thrills, spills and personality. Cinema Paradiso inspired some of Morricone's most touching, melodic music which earned him a 1990 BAFTA. Bacalov’s gorgeous Il Postino score is sweet, sad but unmistakably Italian. Happy Birthday Variations with an ICO twist is followed by the hauntingly beautiful Oblivion from Astor Piazzolla’s film score, Enrique V. Spicy rhythms and a fiendish melody keep Libertango at the forefront of modern tango. As usual Dermot Dunne on accordion navigates his instrument with a light touch, warmth, and utter charm.
