Summary
Ludovic Morlot conducts the BBC National Orchestra of Wales at Hoddinott Hall in Stravinsky’s Jeu de cartes and Britten’s Double Concerto featuring Ben Baker and Tim Ridout.
Why it's fantastic
Stravinsky wrote this card-game ballet as a clever battle of wits, filled with musical jokes and sharp rhythmic shifts. It is paired here with Britten’s early concerto, a piece that allows the violin and viola to trade melodies like old friends in a rare and intimate display of instrumental partnership.
