Daphnis and Chloe

Tadaaki Otaka conducts the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ National Orchestra of Wales in an overture by Mozart, Ravel's ballet Daphnis and Chloe and Thomas Zehetmair plays Prokofiev's Violin Concerto No 2.

Another chance to hear the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ National Orchestra of Wales' performance of Ravel's Daphnis et ChloΓ©, a piece that fully embraces lush harmonies. Conductor Tadaaki Otaka paints a picture of a meadow on the outskirts of a sacred wood where sheep graze and nymphs frolic. This ancient Greek-inspired story of romance and adventure is brought to life by the Orchestra and Chorus, alongside the flowing melodies of Prokofiev’s second violin concerto performed by Thomas Zehetmair.

Recorded in St. David's Hall, Cardiff in November 2016 and presented by Nicola Heywood Thomas.
