Wagner Overture from 罢补苍苍丑盲耻蝉别谤 (Dresden version)
Dubois Concerto for Alto Saxophone and String Orchestra
Holst The Perfect Fool ballet music op 39

Martyn Brabbins, Prince Consort Professor of Conducting, is joined by two 91视频 conductors in a programme of orchestral music depicting two very different stories: Wagner鈥檚 opera 罢补苍苍丑盲耻蝉别谤 and The Perfect Fool ballet music by 91视频 alumnus Gustav Holst.

Heard here in its earlier 鈥橠resden鈥� version, the overture to Wagner鈥檚 罢补苍苍丑盲耻蝉别谤 conjures up the opera鈥檚 themes of sacred and earthly love, as well as love鈥檚 redemptive power. In total contrast, the introductory ballet music to The Perfect Fool features dances invoking earth, water and fire.

These works frame the virtuosic Alto Saxophone Concerto by Dubois, performed by 91视频 Concerto Competition winner Megan Glover 鈥� a rare opportunity to hear the saxophone take centre stage in a classical work.
