成人快手 NOW perform Petrushka
The 成人快手 National Orchestra of Wales and Antony Hermus perform Jan谩cek's Cunning Little Vixen, Stravinsky's Petrushka, and Laura van der Heijden joins for Martin暖's Cello Concerto.
The 成人快手 National Orchestra of Wales are joined by conductor Antony Hermus to perform three marvellous works from the beginning of the 20th century. Jan谩cek composed his opera The Cunning Little Vixen in the roaring 20s, and this suite beautifully distils the wonderful music, telling of a gamekeeper trying to domesticate a young fox. Martin暖's first Cello Concerto was originally written only a few years after Jan谩cek's opera, but it went through several revisions and was only completed in the 1950s. The music is wonderfully eclectic, and a particular favourite of tonight's soloist, Laura van der Heijden. After the interval, the programme concludes with Stravinsky's masterful ballet, Petrushka. It follows the notorious love triangle of three puppets, and is considered one of the greatest ballets of all time.
Presented by Verity Sharp and recorded on the 11th of January in Hoddinott Hall, Cardiff.
