Morning Masterworks Series 5: QSO Plays Bolero at Concert Hall, QPAC

You hear the distant sound of snare drum, barely discernible at first, then coming closer, each time a little louder, until at the end of Bolero, the orchestra is ablaze with colour and fire.

New piano sensation Beatrice Rana's lyrical style caresses the endless melodies of Chopin’s most-loved concerto, while conductor Fabien Gabel, currently the toast of the big European orchestras, delivers surprisingly light-hearted Beethoven.
