Kazuki Conducts Elgar & Beethoven Part 1
City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra conducted by Kazuki Yamada - Symphony Hall
Program Info: William Walton - Spitfire; Prelude and Fugue: from the 1942 movie The First of the Few Ludwig Van Beethoven - Piano Concerto No.3 Edward Elgar - Enigma Variations
Kazuki Yamada meets the Midlander of the Century.
Kazuki Yamada has fallen in love with British music, and it doesn’t get much more British than Walton’s stirring Spitfire prelude. As for Elgar’s Enigma Variations; well, let’s just say that the famous Nimrod is far from being their best-kept secret. This is music that never gets any less fresh – the perfect complement to the brilliant Alice Sara Ott, in Beethoven’s stormiest piano concerto.
