An orchestral journey of bold originality: Ogonek’s joyful, light-filled dances, Ravel’s jazz-inspired brilliance, and Wigglesworth’s time-bending concerto. Steven Osborne shines across playful Ravel and introspective Wigglesworth.

Britten at his most joyful: the upbeat Welcome Ode and the sparkling Young Person’s Guide to the Orchestra, a lively tour of every instrument. A spirited celebration, complete with fresh narration by Rory Kinnear.
