Violinist Tasmin Little joins the 成人快手 National Orchestra of Wales for what has been described as one of the world's most popular violin concertos - Bruch's gorgeous Violin Concerto No. 1. Plus Joseph Swensen conducts the orchestra through a gradual journey to glory in Bruckner's seventh symphony. The composer's epic work was inspired by the scope and spirituality of Bach with a simple idea ascending like a prayer as the piece opens before being transfigured in its final bars.
