Of Paradise and Light

Dalia Stasevska conducts the ѿý Symphony Orchestra strings in JS Bach, Stravinsky and Read Thomas. Principal clarinettist Richard Hosford joins for Copland’s Clarinet Concerto.

Dalia Stasevska, Principal Guest Conductor of the ѿý Symphony Orchestra, and her strings bring dance rhythms, American inflexions, and Jazz notes in a programme ranging from the Baroque to the contemporary. The sparkle of Bach’s Brandenburg Concerto No.3, and Stravinsky’s equally exhilarating reimagining of the Baroque era in Dumbarton Oaks frame two American works.

For Aaron Copland’s Clarinet Concerto comes luxury casting with Richard Hosford the ѿý Symphony Orchestra’s Principal Clarinettist as soloist. Richard’s recording of the work has consistently won ѿý Radio 3’s Record Review Building a Library.
Plus Augusta Read Thomas’s Of Paradise and Light (2010), a song without voices, based on an E E Cummings poem, and a fine addition to the American school of string mediation started by Samuel Barber’s Adagio.
