rich sound

A programme tailor-made for Mei-Ann Chen. The American with the uncanny sense for rich sound draws the utmost ecstasy from Ravel’s Bolero and contrasts the Frenchman’s Spanish music with the Andean sounds of Californian Gabriela Lena Frank. In between, Russian violinist Nikita Boriso-Glebsky gives a brilliant rendition of the legendary Sarasate’s two great international successes: his own Gypsy Airs and Saint-Saëns’ Rondo capriccioso.
