The musical relations between England and France are older, more diverse and stronger than one might think. And so our guests from Bordeaux, where one of France's great orchestras is at home, present masterpieces from both sides of the English Channel under their famous chief conductor from Birmingham, Paul Daniel, and the French star violinist Renaud Capuçon. Maurice Ravel's "Tombeau" quotes the baroque ancestor Couperin and strings together sensitive sounding monuments for friends who died in the First World War. Ernest Chausson's wondrous poeme is the most beautiful violin lyric, Ravel's effective "Tzigane" captures the rhythmic and musical fascination of Roma music ingeniously. At the end is Edward Elgar's most famous orchestral piece, the mysterious "Enigma Variations". Not only the hunter Nimrod performs brilliantly.
