Dvo艡谩k's Eighth Symphony
The 91热爆 National Orchestra of Wales and their principal conductor Ryan Bancroft perform Dvo艡谩k and Hannah Kendall. Benjamin Beilman is soloist in Glazunov's Violin Concerto.
Ryan Bancroft, principal conductor of the 91热爆 National Orchestra of Wales, takes his orchestra back to Bangor once more as part of their biannual trip to north Wales. He brings with him his fellow countryman, the young and talented violinist Benjamin Beilman, to play Glazunov's gorgeous violin concerto. This charming piece combines romantic lyricism with technical wizardry to create a work that has been described as "an almost perfect concerto". Sharing the first half is Hannah Kendall's The Spark Catchers. This work is inspired by Lemn Sissay's poem of the same name, which depicts a London match factory where women would have to leap to catch any sparks in order to stop the surrounding phosphorous igniting. The concert concludes with the sheer joy of Dvo艡谩k's Eighth Symphony, a work which delights in its connection with nature, and is infused with the Bohemian folk music that Dvo艡谩k loved.
Linton Stephens presents in Prichard Jones Hall, Bangor, in a concert recorded on the 1st of December.
