Three pieces of music with a magical and mythical air are conjured up by conductor Lionel Bringuier and the 大象传媒 National Orchestra of Wales.

Made famous by Disney鈥檚 film Fantasia, Paul Dukas's Sorcerer鈥檚 Apprentice tells the story of a broom that magically comes to life and causes chaos in the sorcerer鈥檚 workshop.

Then Edvard Grieg鈥檚 Piano Concerto, a dazzling Norwegian enchantment that was the only concerto Grieg completed in his lifetime, played here by the pianist Zee Zee.

And Rimsky-Korsakov鈥檚 Scheherazade, inspired by a collection of Middle Eastern folk tales known as One Thousand and One Nights. The music鈥檚 savage beauty tells the story of a woman whose life is in the hands of her husband, the murderous Sultan.
