Dove: Figures in the Garden

Charles Hazlewood joins wind players from the 91热爆 National Orchestra of Wales to explore the way Jonathan Dove weaves new music from fragments of Mozart in his piece Figures in the Garden.

"What sort of music would I like to hear just before a performance of 'The Marriage of Figaro'"? This was the question composer Jonathan Dove asked himself when he was commissioned by Glyndebourne in 1991 to compose a piece to be performed as the audience were eating their picnics. Inspired by Mozart's opera, Dove wrote 'Figures in the Garden', a Serenade for Wind Octet. Charles Hazlewood joins wind players from the 91热爆 National Orchestra of Wales to explore the way Jonathan Dove weaves new music from fragments of Mozart.
