Chloé van Soeterstède conducts ´óÏó´«Ã½ NOW

Chloé van Soeterstède conducts the ´óÏó´«Ã½ National Orchestra of Wales in Prokofiev, Ravel and Haydn. Matthew Featherstone and Catrin Finch join for Mozart's Flute and Harp Concerto.

Live from ´óÏó´«Ã½ Hoddinott Hall, the ´óÏó´«Ã½ National Orchestra of Wales and Chloé van Soeterstède present a concert steeped in classicism. We open with Prokofiev's Classical Symphony, in which the musical lexicon of Mozart and Haydn is transfigured in his own inimitable neoclassical style. Next harpist Catrin Finch joins the Orchestra's principal flautist Matthew Featherstone in Mozart's ebullient Flute and Harp Concerto, his only work for the harp. After the interval we hear Ravel's Mother Goose Suite, a work that he orchestrated from five piano duets for children, based on 18th-century fairy tales. We close the concert with one of the most popular works by arguably the greatest classical symphonist: Haydn's 88th Symphony.

Presented by Nicola Heywood Thomas.
