Paul Herriott presents from the stage of the National Concert Hall, Dublin, where the musicians of the RTÉ National Symphony Orchestra and a host of Irish soloists present a season of live concert programmes - watch above, and download your digital programme here.
Just three days following the 50th anniversary of Stravinsky s death on 6 April 1971, David Brophy conducts his
Eight Instrumental Miniatures, his
Danses Concertantes, and his
Concerto in E flat (Dumbarton Oaks) which Stravinsky himself described as a little concerto in the style of the Brandenburg concertos’.
The concert opens with Elaine Agnew’s
Strings A-stray, a feisty and playful fusion in four movements of wide-ranging influences from Ireland to South India via Poland and a bit of Bach and their own distinctive dance characteristic.
