Various masterpieces are presented in a new guise, namely in arrangements for violin and string orchestra, including the West Side Story Suite, arranged by Paul Bateman, the cavatina from Beethoven’s String Quartet No. 13 in a transcription for strings, and the sublime Adagietto from Mahler’s Symphony No. 5 in a more intimate version for chamber orchestra. Liz Nolan presents a showcase of unabridged musical masterworks, featuring live recordings of Irish and international performers, plus selections from the latest CD releases.
