Celtic Symphony

Experience Classical

Available for over a year

Bantock's Celtic Symphony has been unfairly held back in the repertoire - largely because the composer calls for no fewer than six harps! Like most of Bantock’s Celtic works, the symphony makes use of Hebridean folksong for its character. Composer: Granville Bantock Performers: BBC Symphony Orchestra Conductor: Sakari Oramo Recording date: 21 August 2013 Date of broadcast: 21 August 2013
