Ben Goldscheider plays Mozart's Horn Concerto

Available for 2 days

The BBC National Orchestra of Wales and their principal conductor, Ryan Bancroft, are joined in Bangor by star horn soloist Ben Goldscheider to play not one but two concerti. First, one of the most well-known pieces in all classical music, Mozart's 4th Horn Concerto, and then a work written for Ben by Huw Watkins, who was a former composer in association with the Orchestra. Bookending the concert are two Finnish works that are particular favourites of Ryan Bancroft: Ida Moberg's Sunrise Suite and Sibelius's majestic 5th Symphony. The Moberg charts a full day from sunrise to the stillness of the night, and the Sibelius famously depicts a flock of swans taking flight and soaring overhead. Recorded in Prichard Jones Hall, Bangor on 14 November and presented by Alexandra Humphreys. Moberg: Sunrise Suite Huw Watkins: Horn Concerto Mozart: Horn Concerto No 4 in E flat major, K 495 Sibelius: Symphony No 5 in E flat major, Op 82 Ben Goldscheider (horn) BBC National Orchestra of Wales Ryan Bancroft (conductor) To listen on most smart speakers, just say 'ask BBC Sounds to play Radio 3 in Concert'.
