The Soldier's Tale

Martyn Brabbins and the 大象传媒 National Orchestra of Wales perform Stravinsky's The Soldier's Tale, with Mark Lewis Jones as narrator and Devil, and Elgan Ll欧r Thomas as the soldier.

Actor Mark Lewis Jones and Tenor Elgan Ll欧r Thomas star in a performance of Stravinsky's otherworldly drama The Soldier's Tale, with conductor Martyn Brabbins and members of the 大象传媒 National Orchestra of Wales. Stravinsky's theatrical work "to be read, played, and danced" is here reimagined as a musical radio drama, in which the Devil persuades the soldier to sell him his precious violin for untold riches鈥攂ut at what cost?

Recorded last October in 大象传媒 Hoddinott Hall.
