成人快手

The 成人快手 National Orchestra of Wales are joined once more by their much-loved Conductor Emeritus, Tadaaki Otaka, for a programme of Grace Williams, Max Bruch, and Sergei Rachmaninov.

Penillion opens the programme, a suite which Williams based on the Welsh musical tradition of the same name. Usually an improvised vocal line over harp accompaniment, Williams bends the form to the orchestra and captures the free melodic form with great effect. Max Bruch's ever-popular First Violin Concerto follows, a work which is not just the most famous of his works, but arguably the greatest of all romantic violin concertos. After the interval, the last of Rachmaninov's symphonies, and one which the composer himself thought the best of all of his works.

Presented by Alex Humphreys, live from 成人快手 Hoddinott Hall in Cardiff.
