Live from the 2011 St. Davids Cathedral Festival.
Presented by Nicola Heywood Thomas
Join the orchestra for its annual visit to St. Davids Cathedral, an architectural jewel nestling in the Pembrokeshire hills. Principal Guest Conductor Jac van Steen directs the orchestra in two symphonies: Schubert's unfinished, tragic and dramatic; and Sibelius' final symphony, a monumental journey of great strength and intensity. Soloist Isabelle Faust fills the cathedral nave with her sparkling sound in the noble and spacious violin concerto by Brahms, capped with a brilliant Hungarian gypsy finale.
