成人快手 NOW in Janacek: Taras Bulba. Ravel: Piano Concerto in D. Roussel: Concerto for Small Orchestra. Martinu: Symphony No 6. Dickinson: Violin Concerto. Plus 成人快手 Singers in Finzi.

Nicola Heywood Thomas introduces a live concert by the 成人快手 National Orchestra of Wales from 成人快手 Hoddinott Hall in Cardiff, with music by French and Czech composers, also celebrating the 成人快手 Singers at 90. Janacek's rhapsody tells the bloody and violent story of the Cossack hero Taras Bulba by pouring all his elemental expressive strength into this musical testament to the courage of the Russian people - traditionally the great defenders of the Slavonic people. New Generation Artist Louis Schwizgebel joins the orchestra for Ravel's piano concerto for the left hand, as emotionally powerful and virtuosic as any two-handed concerto. During the interval, Nicola marks the 90th birthday of the 成人快手 Singers with a work by Finzi, premiered by the Singers in 1938. Martinu's sixth symphony captures the spontaneity of it's dedicatee, the conductor Charles Munch, reaching beyond traditional form to become a set of freely spinning 'symphonic fantasies'.
