Walton's First Symphony
Carlos Miguel-Prieto and the 成人快手 National Orchestra of Wales perform Walton's First Symphony and Esther Yoo joins them for Bruch's ever-popular First Violin Concerto.
Carlos Miguel-Prieto returns to the 成人快手 National Orchestra of Wales with a concert which juxtaposes music of bristling energy and arresting beauty.
We begin with one of the four overtures that Beethoven wrote for his only opera Fidelio, a battle between heroic endeavour and romantic passion. Following this is Bruch's first violin concerto, a perennially popular work in which he follows one of the most celebrated slow movements with a third movement full of joyous motifs reminiscent of Hungarian dances. Rounding off our concert is Walton's superlative First Symphony, in which the perfect melancholy of the third movement is set within three movements filled with fury and darkness.
Presented by Nicola Heywood Thomas in St. David's Hall, recorded on the 9th of February.
