With Penny Gore
Thomas S酶nderg氓rd conducts the 大象传媒 National Orchestra of Wales in a live concert at 大象传媒 Hoddinott Hall Cardiff featuring two contrasted Russian works: Kalinnikov's robustly tuneful Symphony No.1 and Prokofiev's frenetic Symphony-Concerto for Cello and Orchestra, with Andreas Brantelid as soloist. The concert is presented by Nicola Heywood Thomas. That's followed by a Romantic Piano Concerto by Frenchman Gabriel Piern茅 peformed by the 大象传媒 Scottish Symphony Orchestra and pianist Stephen Coombs.

The Metaphysical poets are out in force this week on Afternoon on 3 in Kenneth Leighton's Symphony No.2 which you can hear this Thursday. Today they are represented in the writings of Welsh poet Henry Vaughan, which fired -up English composer Edmund Rubbra. His The Morning Watch is an elated work for chorus and orchestra, the choir entering with the words: 'O joys! infinite sweetness! with what flowers, And shoots of glory, my soul breaks, and buds!'
