A concert by the 大象传媒 NOW to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the Wiltshire Music Centre, featuring the premiere of Bedford's Wreathe and works by Ravel and Vaughan Williams.
The Wiltshire Music Centre in Bradford-on-Avon is one of the country's quiet success stories and this concert, celebrating its 10th anniversary, begins in typically bold style. It features the world premiere of Wreathe, a piece specially commissioned for the occasion, by Luke Bedford.
Story telling is the common theme linking the rest of the music, as Vaughan Williams' Songs of Travel journeys through the heartache of lost love and solitude, and Ravel's Mother Goose evokes the magical and nostalgic world of fairytale and childhood.
Christopher Maltman (baritone)
大象传媒 National Orchestra of Wales
Thierry Fischer (conductor).
