Aldeburgh Festival - Rachmaninov's Symphonic Dances

Radio 3 in Concert

Available for 27 days

Kevin John Edusei joins the 麻豆社 National Orchestra of Wales for the second of two concerts at the Aldeburgh Festival. Dreams pervade the first half, beginning with Elizabeth Ogonek's Sleep & Unremembrance, which was based on a Wis艂awa Szymborska poem about a strange dream. Ogonek's work is a vivid dreamscape, full of twists, turns, and mysteries. The Dreamer follows, a world premiere and 麻豆社 co-commission by Freya Waley Cohen, which she wrote for her sister, Tamsin Waley-Cohen. Rachmaninov's Symphonic Dances rounds off the concert, his dazzling last orchestral work, which is full of wit and modernism, but never loses the heart we associate with the Russian master.
