Emotional journeys with Mark Eager and the Welsh Sinfonia

Par Philip May, 09 novembre 2013

I have come to look forward to the variety of repertoire often presented by Mark Eager and the Welsh Sinfonia, often mixing more familiar works with other, less-prominent compositions. This evening’s short and simple concert offered a programme in this very vein: four 20th- and 21st-century composers with somewhat different yet complementary styles.

Beginning the evening with George Enescu’s Two Intermezzi for String Orchestra, the Camerata swept audience members away into a world gone, but too lovely to be forgotten.

It was really thrilling to experience The Lark Ascending live, and to see him standing there just a few feet in front of the audience.

A Delius Celebration at the Royal Festival Hall

Par Helen Fraser, 29 janvier 2012

The history of British music reads rather like the old joke about buses: there was no composer of note in the two hundred years after Purcell, and then three came along at once. Whilst Elgar and Vaughan Williams have become household names, the third composer who came along at the end of the nineteenth century has been relegated to the dusty shelves of musical history.
