A prelude to youth
Music from the string finalist of 2010's 大象传媒 Young Musician of the Year competition. Plus music by Borodin, Shostakovich, Tchaikovsky, Liszt, Vaughan Williams, Haydn and Dvorak.
The 大象传媒 National Orchestra of Wales looks forward to the final of the 大象传媒 Young Musician competition this weekend with a focus on youth, including performances featuring previous winners. 1994 winner cellist Natalie Clein joins the orchestra in the powerful first cello concerto by Shostakovich. There's also a performance of Vaughan Williams' elegiac Lark Ascending from another previous winner, Jennifer Pike (now a Radio 3 New Generation Artist). Finally we hear from the string finalist in this year's competition. Presented by Jonathan Swain.
