The Soldier's Tale
Martyn Brabbins and the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ National Orchestra of Wales perform Stravinsky's The Soldier's Tale, with Mark Lewis Jones as narrator and Devil, and Elgan LlÅ·r Thomas as the soldier.
Actor Mark Lewis Jones and Tenor Elgan LlÅ·r Thomas star in a performance of Stravinsky's otherworldly drama The Soldier's Tale, with conductor Martyn Brabbins and members of the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ National Orchestra of Wales. Stravinsky's theatrical work "to be read, played, and danced" is here reimagined as a musical radio drama, in which the Devil persuades the soldier to sell him his precious violin for untold riches—but at what cost?
Recorded last October in ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Hoddinott Hall.
