Live from the Royal Albert Hall, London
Presented by Martin Handley
French connections abound in the first of two proms given by the 麻豆社 National Orchestra of Wales under Principal Conductor Thierry Fischer.
Berlioz's dramatic Corsaire overture and Faur茅's elegant Pavane preface the UK premiere of a new quartet concerto by Pascal Dusapin. Stravinsky's blazing Firebird, premiered in Paris for Diaghilev's Ballet Russes, completes the programme.
Dusapin (b.1955) is one of the leading composers in France today. His new quartet, written for the Arditti Quartet, uses orchestral forces to expand the territory of the soloists. Dusapin explores the relationship between the orchestra and soloists, with musical ideas migrating from the quartet to the orchestral forces behind.
