Serenades and Symphonies

Charles Hazlewood explores the very different ways in which Richard Strauss and Igor Stravinsky approached writing for wind ensemble. He compares the youthful and mature Strauss through the Serenade and Sonatina no. 1 and examines how Stravinsky marshalled his larger forces in the iconic Symphonies of Wind Instruments.

Performances by the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ National Orchestra of Wales, conducted by Douglas Boyd.
