BBC National Orchestra of Wales
Tenor: Gwilym Bowen
Conductor: Nil Venditti

Grace Williams: Hen Walia
Paul Mealor: Liederkreis: Seven Songs by HRH The Prince Albert
Mendelssohn: Hebrides Overture
Beethoven: Symphony No 5

Exploring the perception of ‘fate’ in Beethoven’s powerful fifth symphony and the compositions of Queen Victoria’s beloved husband Prince Albert in new arrangements by Paul Mealor, we also examine Prince Albert’s teacher, Felix Mendelssohn’s evocative perceptions of the Scottish landscape where he often holidayed and Grace Williams’ very first orchestral score, Hen Walia, which incorporates the well-known lullaby, Huna blentyn (Suo Gân).
