Debussy & Shostakovich
When: Friday 25th May 2012 - 7.30pm
Where: St David's Hall, The Hayes, Cardiff CF10 1AH
The vibrant orchestral colours of Debussy's Images conjure the heat, dancing crowds, and intoxicating fragrance of Spain, including the atmospheric sun-drenched Iberia. Shostakovich's troubled and searingly urgent First Violin Concerto is one of his greatest works. It is preceded by a contemporary piece, Philippe Manoury's Sound and Fury, based on the title of William Faulkner's novel.
