Priya Mitchell, violin Cheltenham Bach Choir Michal Dvorzynski, conductor
Note:
The 2008 Cheltenham Music Festival gets off to a powerful start with a double bill from Manchester-based BBC Philharmonic, enjoying a sustained period of artistic good health. Young Polish maestro Michal Dvorzynski leads them in two programmes of distinct musical character and geography on Friday 4 July and Saturday 5 July - a pleasure-chest of gorgeous tunefulness where the folksong interests of Britten, Grainger, Kodály and the young Lutoslawski combine with the serenity of VW’s Lark, the striking imagination of Holst’s planetary suite and romantic jewels from Smetana and Grieg.
