| Performance Notes | Ryan Wigglesworth joins the BBC National Orchestra and Chorus of Wales for a programme that spans four centuries, from Purcells dramatic choral motet Jehova, quam multi sunt hostes mei, to the world premiere of Brian Eliass Cello Concerto, whose intricate, spiral structure creates a dream-like musical narrative.
The concert opens with Brittens most overtly political work an impassioned musical stand against fascism that anticipates the composers War Requiem; and reaches its culmination with Elgars Enigma Variations, which includes the much-loved Nimrod.
