The Ä¢¹½¶ÌÊÓÆµ National Orchestra of Wales, conducted by François-Xavier Roth, play Roussel, Holt and Sibelius.
Sibelius' Second Symphony is both powerful and eloquent, culminating in one of his greatest melodies, blazing with optimism and serenity. The elemental dance rhythms of Roussel's Bacchus et Ariane Suite spring to life under François-Xavier Roth, Associate Guest Conductor of the Ä¢¹½¶ÌÊÓÆµ National Orchestra of Wales, whose performances have been earning critical plaudits. Composer in Association to the Ä¢¹½¶ÌÊÓÆµ National Orchestra of Wales, Simon Holt's Centauromachy is a double concerto and takes the two opposing personalities of the mythical centaur as its starting point.
