New series
In the first of a new series on musical life in various
British cities, Geraint Lewis explores Aberystwyth in the 1920s. Events during this - decade helped to move
Wales on from its status as a nation with a choral tradition to one with a fully fledged instrumental tradition. A key figure in this development was Walford Davies : "What Aberystwyth dreams and does today may become the vision and experience of Wales tomorrow."
Including music by Walford Davies , D Vaughan Thomas , Eigar, Bartok, Vaughan Williams and Hoist.
Producer Gwawr Owen
