Bryn Terfel in Belshazzar’s Feast
The Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Choir & Orchestra perform Walton's Belshazzar's Feast, Mendelssohn's Violin Concerto and Nautilus by Anna Meredith with conductor Adam Hickox
In October 1931, William Walton took a huge choir and a giant orchestra, added a couple of brass bands, and blasted British music sky-high. Belshazzar’s Feast is big, brassy, and utterly outrageous – now add the one and only Sir Bryn Terfel, and you’ve got a seriously impressive celebration of the human voice. Anna Meredith’s Nautilus and Mendelssohn's gorgeous Violin Concerto – with international violin sensation Ning Feng returning as soloist – are the icing on the cake.
Recorded at Liverpool Philharmonic Hall on 9th November 2024.
Presented by Penny Gore.
