Shostakovich's Fourteenth Symphony
Ryan Bancroft conducts the 大象传媒 National Orchestra of Wales in Britten's Variations on a Theme of Frank Bridge and Shostakovich's awe-inspiring Fourteenth Symphony.
The 大象传媒 National Orchestra of Wales with their principal conductor, Ryan Bancroft, play two 20th-century masterpieces. Britten's tribute to his much-loved teacher Frank Bridge uses variations to represent different aspects of Bridge's personality, and was the work, which first bought Britten to international attention. The Variations on a Theme of Frank Bridge is followed by another tribute; this time a work dedicated to Britten by Shostakovich: his Fourteenth Symphony. In this piece Shostakovich muses on the subject of death, setting 11 poems by four poets, sung here by the former Radio 3 New Generation Artist bass-baritone Ashley Riches and Welsh Soprano Natalya Romaniw.
Recorded on the 29th May in 大象传媒 Hoddinott Hall and presented by Nicola Heywood Thomas.
