Heroic Strokes of the Bow

Available for over a year

Inspired by the painting Heroische Bogenstriche by Swiss-German artist Paul Klee, the music is dominated by violins, played energetically. Judith Weir is interested in creating different sounds on wooden instruments. The music builds to a climax before ending calmly. Composer: Judith Weir Performers: BBC Symphony Orchestra Conductor: Stefan Solyom Recording date: 31 January 2020 Date of broadcast: 08 March 2020
