Of Paradise and Light

Dalia Stasevska conducts the 大象传媒 Symphony Orchestra strings in JS Bach, Stravinsky and Read Thomas. Principal clarinettist Richard Hosford joins for Copland鈥檚 Clarinet Concerto.

Dalia Stasevska, Principal Guest Conductor of the 大象传媒 Symphony Orchestra, and her strings bring dance rhythms, American inflexions, and Jazz notes in a programme ranging from the Baroque to the contemporary. The sparkle of Bach鈥檚 Brandenburg Concerto No.3, and Stravinsky鈥檚 equally exhilarating reimagining of the Baroque era in Dumbarton Oaks frame two American works.

For Aaron Copland鈥檚 Clarinet Concerto comes luxury casting with Richard Hosford the 大象传媒 Symphony Orchestra鈥檚 Principal Clarinettist as soloist. Richard鈥檚 recording of the work has consistently won 大象传媒 Radio 3鈥檚 Record Review Building a Library.
Plus Augusta Read Thomas鈥檚 Of Paradise and Light (2010), a song without voices, based on an E E Cummings poem, and a fine addition to the American school of string mediation started by Samuel Barber鈥檚 Adagio.
