Pictures at an Exhibition with the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ NOW

The Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ National Orchestra of Wales performs Mussorgsky's Pictures at an Exhibition, the French Baroque of Rameau and new music by the Argentinian composer Martin Matalon.

Suzy Klein introduces a richly colourful Prom programme from the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ National Orchestra of Wales under the charismatic young French conductor Francois-Xavier Roth, ranging from the scintillating French Baroque of Rameau to new music by the Argentinian composer Matalon, via Canteloube's evergreen arrangements of Songs of the Auvergne. The programme culminates in Mussorgsky's famous Pictures at an Exhibition, in an extravagant orchestration by Proms founder Sir Henry Wood himself.
