Discovering… The Young Person's Guide To The Orchestra – Benjamin Britten
Benjamin Britten’s The Young Person’s Guide To The Orchestra is one of the most frequently performed works of any British composer. Katie Derham presents a detailed analysis of the composition, and the story behind its creation, before it is performed in full by the BBC National Orchestra of Wales with guest conductor Moritz Gnann in Cardiff’s Hoddinott Hall. Through interviews and archive Katie learns how the piece was commissioned for a Ministry of Education film during a post-war Britain filled with the optimism and promise of building a new world that would provide high culture for all.
