Bedfordshire County Youth Orchestra James MacMillan conducts this orchestra - with soloists from the Philharmonia - in his own work Into the Ferment, inspired by a Robert Burns poem about a whisky-tasting party. The orchestra's regular conductor Michael Rose takes over the rostrum for the rest of the programme, directing the ensemble in Kodaly's Variations on a Hungarian
Folk Song (The Peacock) and, to round things off, Debussy's seascape La Mer. Introduced by Tommy Pearson , who talks to James MacMillan ,
Michael Rose and members of the orchestra.
