成人快手 NOW perform Tansy Davies, Sibelius and Tchaikovsky

Ryan Bancroft and the 成人快手 National Orchestra of Wales travel to Aberystwyth to perform Tansy Davies and Tchaikovsky. Clara-Jumi Kang is the soloist in Sibelius's Violin Concerto.

The 成人快手 National Orchestra of Wales and their principal conductor Ryan Bancroft travel to Aberystwyth to perform Tchaikovsky, Sibelius, and Tansy Davies. The concert opens with Monolith, a work for percussion and strings that Davies wrote for the 2021 Aldeburgh Festival. It takes inspiration from Claude Cahun鈥檚 photograph titled I extend my arms, which depicts disembodied arms extending from a monolithic stone. Before the interval, violinist Clara-Jumi Kang joins Bancroft and his Orchestra for Sibelius' much loved Violin Concerto - the composer's beautiful love song to the instrument he had so dearly longed to be a virtuoso on. The concert concludes with Tchaikovsky's Fifth Symphony, considered by many to be the composer's statement on fate and destiny, and one of his most popular compositions.

Recorded on the 16th of March, and presented by Verity Sharp.
