This richly varied programme journeys from atmospheric seascapes to vibrant folk inspired dances. The Hebrides Overture, depicts Mendelssohn’s visit to Fingal’s Cave on the island of Staffa, while Mozart’s Clarinet Concerto is characterised by sublime lyricism. Haydn’s Symphony No. 44 subtitled ‘Trauer’ (Funeral) is widely held to be the most dramatic of his astonishing middle period works, while Kodaly’s Dances of Galanta brim with Hungarian folk spirit and dazzling orchestral flair.
