Dechreuwch ar eich taith gerddorol y mis Ionawr hwn gyda The Cunning Little Vixen, y comedi drasig eithriadol o boblogaidd gan Janáček. Gydag adrannau pantomeim symffonig byr a bachog, wedi’u trefnu’n ddyfeisgar i roi eu motiff rhythmig eu hunain i bob cy

Start your musical journey this January with Janáček’s immensely popular tragicomedy The Cunning Little Vixen. With short and pithy symphonic pantomime sections, inventively orchestrated to give each character their own rhythmic motif, this folksy suite is laden with lush harmony and a mood firmly drenched in nature and love.

The immensely popular cellist Laura van der Heijden returns to 鶹ƵAV NOW with a performance of Martinů’s athletic and folky, yet expressively impassioned Cello Concerto, before conductor Antony Hermus turns puppet-master in Stravinsky’s Petrushka. Petrushka, the rebellious jester falls in love with a Ballerina who falls in love with the Moor in this fated folk story, with the dancing and despairingly flailing puppet cleverly wound into action by Stravinsky’s ingenious rhythm and orchestration.
