Obra: Rêverie et Caprice

The Royal Northern Sinfonia under Duncan Ward performed works by Robert Schumann, Hector Berlioz and Louise Farrenc. 

A disappointing pairing of Berlioz and Mendelssohn from a conductorless Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment. 

It seems unfair to label a young conductor a 'discovery', especially since most young conductors labour tirelessly for many years prior to achieving wider recognition. But that's what Daniel Cohen was for me: a discovery, and a very pleasing one at that.
