Schumann's Fourth Symphony

Ryan Bancroft conducts the 大象传媒 National Orchestra of Wales in the original version of Schumann's Fourth Symphony. Anthony Marwood joins as soloist for Ligeti's Violin Concerto.

Schumann originally penned his final symphony directly after the completion of his first, but heavily revised it a decade later for it to be eventually published as his Fourth Symphony. Ryan Bancroft and the 大象传媒 National Orchestra of Wales will perform the sunnier, original version, in a programme with Beethoven's Overture to Coriolan, and Ligeti's Violin Concerto. Anthony Marwood will join them as soloist for Ligeti's remarkable concerto, which includes an ensemble of ocarinas, and in which he will play a cadenza composed by Thomas Ades.

Presented by Nicola Heywood Thomas in 大象传媒 Hoddinott Hall in Cardiff on the 9th of December.
