The National Youth Orchestra performs Nielsen's 4th Symphony

The National Youth Orchestra plays Ravel's 叠辞濒茅谤辞, Nielsen's 4th Symphony and Icelandic composer Anna Thorvaldsdottir鈥檚 "Catamorphosis" from the Royal Concert Hall in Nottingham.

The National Youth Orchestra shines a light on the brilliance, passion and musical potential of a new generation.

With conductor Jaime Mart铆n at the helm, the NYO take to the stage at Nottingham's Royal Concert Hall to perform three fantastically colouful orchestral pieces.

The orchestra begins with a masterpiece of orchestration and evolving textures - Ravel鈥檚 叠辞濒茅谤辞. They then invite us to immerse ourselves in Icelandic composer Anna Thorvaldsdottir鈥檚 "Catamorphosis" - a sonic journey through nature, brought to life by the glimmering power of the orchestra.

In the second half, we discover the drama and grandeur of Carl Nielsen鈥檚 Symphony No. 4 - a bold and imaginative work that radiates the passion of every performer on stage. As Nielsen once said: 鈥淢usic is life鈥�, and you鈥檒l feel it in every note.

Recorded at Royal Concert Hall, Nottingham on 6th January 2025.

Presented by Mark Forrest.
