成人快手

Penny Gore presents a week of programmes reflecting on musical firsts featuring the 成人快手 National Orchestra of Wales.

Penny introduces a recent concert recorded at Bangor University last November, as part of the 125th anniversary celebrations. It opens with the most recent premiere given by the orchestra, from Resident Composer Guto Puw, 'Break the Stone' - a reference both to a Welsh folksong and the quarrying heritage of North Wales.

The final item in the week comes from one of the most memorable concerts of the orchestra's 2008-9 season at St. David's Hall in Cardiff, Mahler's mighty 7th Symphony, his Song of the Night.
