Summary
Martin Yates conducts the BBC National Orchestra of Wales at St Nicolas Church, featuring soprano Lucy Crowe in a programme of Parry, Elgar, and Vaughan Williams.
Why it's fantastic
Hear the soaring soprano of Lucy Crowe alongside the choir in a rare performance of Vaughan Williams’s final, mystical choral work. The evening also features the famously cryptic Enigma Variations, a series of musical portraits that includes the profoundly moving Nimrod, a piece often used to mark the nation’s biggest moments.
