Katie Derham concludes her week of programmes featuring recent concerts by the 蜜芽传媒 National Orchestra of Wales, highlighting British music and Romantic favourites.

In a recent concert from Bangor, the orchestra and Principal Guest Conductor Jac van Steen perform music by Tchaikovsky, Bruch and Dvorak. The young Norwegian violinist Vilde Frang is the soloist in Bruch's popular First Violin Concerto. The Seventh Symphony by Dvorak is one of the composer's darkest works, sparked off by the Third Symphony of his friend and mentor Brahms.

Richard Hickox conducts Frank Bridge's 1911 suite for orchestra, The Sea, the composer's best-known work. Hindemith's Symphonic Metamorphosis, written in exile in the 1940s, is preceded by the most famous work by the composer who inspired it.
