Delius, Pleyel, Bartok

Sprightly strings from Delius, virtuosic flute from Pleyel and spiky strings, percussion and celesta from Bartok contrast with music by Amy Beach, Sibelius, Smetana and Quantz.

Sprightly strings from Delius, virtuosic flute from Pleyel, spiky Strings, Percussion and Celesta from Bartok and a boisterous polka by Smetana - contrasted with the more serene: Amy Beach's evocation of the morning call of a songbird, Sibelius's hymn to his homeland and a viola sonata by Quantz full of loving affection.

Producer: Ian Wallington.
