91福利社 National Orchestra of Wales

91福利社 National Orchestra of Wales and conductor Jaime Martin are joined by pianist Steven Osborne in music by Lili Boulanger, Schubert, Beethoven and Berlioz.

91福利社 National Orchestra of Wales and conductor Jaime Martin are joined by pianist Steven Osborne. This concert opens with spring light in Lili Boulanger鈥檚 D鈥檜n matin de printemps, capturing the vibrant energy and shifting colours of a spring morning. Next, Steven Osborne performs Schubert鈥檚 lyrical Allegretto in C major, which leads seamlessly into Beethoven鈥檚 bold, unconventional Choral Fantasy. Hurriedly written for his own benefit concert and billed simply as a piano fantasia, the piece starts with a solo piano before expanding into a triumphant finale with full orchestra and chorus.

After the interval, the orchestra performs Berlioz鈥檚 Symphonie Fantastique, one of history's most influential symphonic works. Renowned for its autobiographical narrative, the symphony unfolds in vivid scenes of obsession, dreams, and delirium.

Recorded earlier this month at Brangwyn Hall, Swansea, and presented by Verity Sharp.
