Cardiff Week (2/4)
Chamber orchestra Sinfonia Cymru, conducted by Gabor Takacs-Nagy, perform works by Mozart, Bartok and Huw Watkins. Recorded in Cardiff at the Dora Stoutzker Hall.
Nicola Heywood Thomas presents another chance to hear this concert given by Wales鈥檚 exciting and innovative chamber orchestra, Sinfonia Cymru. Recorded in Cardiff at the Dora Stoutzker Hall at the Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama, and led by Hungarian conductor, G谩bor Tak谩cs-Nagy.
Mozart was an excellent violinist and played professionally at the court orchestra in Salzburg but, at home, his first love was the gentler tones of the viola. Both instruments shine, side by side, in his Sinfonia Concertante. The climax to their lively programme is Mozart's passionate 40th Symphony and the concert opens with music inspired by Welsh folk tunes, described by the composer as his 鈥榞uilty pleasure鈥�.
