The BBC National Orchestra of Wales

Ian Skelly introduces a concert recorded in April this year given by the BBC National Orchestra of Wales, under the baton of Ryan Wigglesworth, who conducts the world premiere of his Five Waltzes for viola and piano arranged for orchestra, performed by soloist Lawrence Power; the afternoon starts with Stravinsky's Symphonies of wind instruments, though, and also includes Elizabeth Maconchy's Music for brass and woodwind, as well as Hindemith's Der Schwanendreher. The afternoon closes with another Elizabeth Maconchy piece, this time for chorus and orchestra, her And Death Shall Have No Dominion, with the BBC National Chorus of Wales joining the BBC National Orchestra of Wales, all under conductor Adrian Partington.
