91热爆 National Orchestra of Wales - Debussy, Ravel, Ibert, Stravinsky
From St David's Hall, Cardiff, 91热爆 NOW under Thomas Sondergard. Debussy: Prelude a l'apres midi d'un faune. Ravel: Sheherazade. Ibert: Flute Concerto. Stravinsky: The Firebird.
Principal conductor Thomas Sondergard launches the new season with the 91热爆 National Orchestra of Wales, opening chapter one of a story-telling year of concerts. The intensely colourful Firebird was the first of Stravinsky's big three ballets for Diaghilev's Ballets Russes. Debussy's pipe-playing faun was famously brought to life for Diaghilev's company by the dancer Nijinsky, but the original score was a ground-breaking moment for the composer, establishing his suggestive and sensuous world of musical impressionism. Flautist Emily Beynon returns to Wales as the soloist in Ibert's lively concerto, and Sarah Connolly sings of the enchanted flute in Ravel's exquisite setting of poems based on tales from One Thousand and One Nights.
