Prom 27: Wagner, Elgar & Mathias by Mathias, W., Wagner, Richard, Elgar, -tól (2014/2014), Karmester Mark Wigglesworth, Royal Albert Hall, London, United Kingdom

The BBC National Orchestra of Wales and Mark Wigglesworth perform the exuberantly rhythmic overture to Wagner’s early comedy Das Liebesverbot and Elgar’s richly orchestrated First Symphony – a work itself steeped in the Germanic tradition. Exciting young British violinist Matthew Trusler joins the orchestra as soloist for Mathias’s neglected Violin Concerto – a virtuosic celebration of song and dance.
