Summary

Ludovic Morlot conducts the BBC National Orchestra of Wales at Brangwyn Hall, featuring Stravinsky’s Jeu de cartes and Britten’s Double Concerto with soloists Ben Baker and Tim Ridout.

Why it's fantastic

Stravinsky turns the orchestra into a giant deck of cards for this playful poker game, full of musical jokes and rhythmic twists. You will also hear a rare pairing of violin and viola in Britten’s youthful concerto, offering a gentle contrast to the sharp energy of the ballet scores.
