"NYO Ignite"

The National Youth Orchestra of Great Britain ignites a musical fire in its Spring concert, recorded at Saffron Hall, Essex.

After pieces featuring the various sections of the orchestra, the whole band gathers together for Stravinsky鈥檚 Firebird. This music tells the story of the phoenix rising from the ashes. NYO鈥檚 teenage superstars bring their inimitable energy to this enormous score, as they do to everything they play.
