BUTTERWORTH: A Shropshire Lad

SAINT-SAËNS: Piano Concerto No. 5, "Egyptian"

VAUGHAN WILLIAMS: A London Symphony (Symphony No. 2)

"Two richly orchestrated and well playEd English works, and some highly impressive keyboard fireworks from the 19th century French piano repertoire, gave the audience at Meymandi Concert Hall an evening of stunning music," wrote CVNC critic Steve Row following the concert's live performance in April.

He went on the praise the orchestra itself, including "a string section that can whisper with the best, bringing a fine sense of delicacy without any thinness to bear on the most pianissimo of passages. Also, the NCS reeds, brass and other winds provided fine ensemble and solo voices...The orchestra was in top form throughout."
