Music For Strings, Trumpets & Percussion

Available for over a year

Bacewicz's 'Music for Strings, Trumpets & Percussion' is music of lament but also music of great positivity. The piece has elements of dissonance but with jazzy rhythms that make it more memorable. Different percussion instruments are highlighted in different movements, and the whole concludes with a lively finale, as is the composer's style. Composer: Grażyna Bacewicz Performers: BBC Northern Symphony Orchestra Conductor: Jan Krenz Recording date: 12 November 1979 Date of broadcast: 14 February 1980
