Tragedy and hilarity: Søndergård conducts Poulenc and Shostakovich at St David's Hall, Cardiff

Philip May, 4th October

I find it difficult to remember the last time I attended a concert in which I was met with just about everything that I wanted to hear, settled alongside facets of performance that I hadn’t yet encountered. Perhaps tonight was, indeed, my first such experience.Thomas Søndergård’s rendition of Poulenc’s Gloria realised everything that I find I intuitively hope to hear from it.
