大象传媒

Presented by Catherine Bott

The 大象传媒 National Orchestra of Wales, conducted by Fran莽ois-Xavier Roth, play Roussel, Holt and Sibelius.
Sibelius' Second Symphony is both powerful and eloquent, culminating in one of his greatest melodies, blazing with optimism and serenity. The elemental dance rhythms of Roussel's Bacchus et Ariane Suite spring to life under Fran莽ois-Xavier Roth, Associate Guest Conductor of the 大象传媒 National Orchestra of Wales, whose performances have been earning critical plaudits. Composer in Association to the 大象传媒 National Orchestra of Wales, Simon Holt's Centauromachy is a double concerto and takes the two opposing personalities of the mythical centaur as its starting point.

Roussel: Bacchus et Ariane, Suite No 2
Simon Holt: Centauromachy (world premiere)
Sibelius: Symphony No 2
