Henze's Ode to the West Wind was, in many ways, a dreamy piece which produced some beautifully lyrical solo playing from Jonathan Aasgaard, principal cellist of the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra.
So pivoting either side of a sanguine Strauss waltz, Voices Of Spring, which inspired conductor Vasily Petrenko into virtual-reality Tower Ballroom mode, was one of the greatest works of all time ( Stravinsky's Rite Of Spring) pulling against a contender in the greatest waste of time category (the now 80- year-old German bad boy Hans Werner Henze's Ode To The West Wind, inspired by the Shelley poem of the same name).
Includes Stravinsky's ballet music from the Rite of Spring, Strauss's Voices of Spring and Henze's Ode to the West Wind for cello and orchestra, with soloist Jonathan Aasgaard, above.
