Cardiff Week (4/4)

Ryan Bancroft conducts the 大象传媒 National Orchestra of Wales, live from Hoddinott Hall in Cardiff in Ives, Weill and Britten, with soloists Joshua Owen Mills and Tim Thorpe.

To conclude the special week of performances from Cardiff, Nicola Heywood Thomas presents a live concert from the 大象传媒 National Orchestra of Wales with their principal conductor Ryan Bancroft, from their home in 大象传媒 Hoddinott Hall.

Charles Ives beautifully evokes very personal locations in his Three Places in New England, weaving in customary nods to American folk music within his very distinctive sound world. Just as Ives has a voice inseparable from America, so Benjamin Britten's is inseparable from England, and his six settings of poems on the theme of night in Serenade for Tenor, Horn and Strings are just as evocative of his homeland. For this performance, Ryan and the Orchestra are joined by tenor Joshua Owen Mills and the Orchestra's principal horn player, Tim Thorpe. Kurt Weill's much overlooked Second Symphony brings the concert to its conclusion, a work full of wit and drama, which was largely written while Weill was fleeing Nazi Germany.
