Streamed Dvorak and Sibelius

Classical Court

From Perotin to Prokofiev (and beyond), performed by Caruso to Khatia, it's all here.

Arranging for some musical passages for an event and stumbled across this unique orchestra, founded by a bassist with credentials and a mixed ethnic background.

Here is cited as the reason for the formation of the group.

"...When the Chineke! Orchestra steps on to the Queen Elizabeth Hall platform on 13 September, the audience should notice something unusual. One of those uncomfortable truths about classical music is that most symphony orchestras in Europe still consist mostly of white and white-Asian people. Chineke, the brainchild of the double-bassist Chi-chi Nwanoku, is Europe's first professional orchestra made up entirely of black and minority ethnic musicians....."

Agree or not, it is a unique group and I found the playing is crisp, lively, and to my ear, quite outstanding on New World and Finlandia.
