Katie Derham with music from the 大象传媒 NOW. Prokofiev: Chout. Rachmaninov: Rhapsody on a theme of Paganini. Shostakovich: Concerto No 1. Mathias: Ceremony After a Fire Raid.

Katie Derham presents recent performances from the 大象传媒 National Orchestra and Chorus of Wales including two favourite Russian works from the twentieth century with Radio 3 New Generation Artists. The chorus sings a harrowing account of the blitz in a setting of a poem by Dylan Thomas, and there's a recent studio recording of Prokfiev's suite from his rarely heard ballet The Tale of the Buffoon, a dark and murderous story commissioned by Diaghilev for his Ballets Russes.
