The BBC National Orchestra of Wales, conducted by Xian Zhang, performs Rachmaninov and Berlioz at Brangwyn Hall in Swansea. At the piano for the Rachmaninov is Stephen Hough, a man described by
The Economist as one of 20 living polymaths, who also writes extensively about music and theology and once spotted a mistake in Tchaikovsky’s Piano Concerto No 1, 138 years after its composition. There’s also a chance to hear Tan Dun’s Internet
Symphony, composed to allow musicians around the world to perform together.
