Strauss's Alpine Symphony
When: Friday 15th June 2012 - 7.30pm
Where: St David's Hall, The Hayes, Cardiff CF10 1AH
Rarely has any composer written a more extravagant piece than Strauss's Alpine Symphony: a dawn to dusk Alpine ascent. From the spine-chilling opening evoking the hours before dawn and the richness of sunrise, through to the euphoria of the summit and the drama of the mountain tempest, this is Strauss at his most colourful. With an orchestra of over 100 players (including twelve off-stage French horns), this is an unmissable occasion.
