Italy provided the inspiration for the two works performed at this Swansea festival concert by the BBC National Orchestra of Wales. Stravinsky's suite Pulcinella is a highly individual reinterpretation of 18th-century music by Pergolesi, while Berlioz's Harold in Italy is a personal response to the Italian landscape and character.

Harold is a tricky work. Regard it as a symphony, and the viola is denied its due prominence; but treating it as a concerto exposes the great stretches where the viola doesn't play at all. The imaginative solution, in this performance conducted by Richard Hickox, was to have the soloist, BBC NOW's principal viola Steven Burnard, take up different positions within the body of the orchestra. This spotlighted the viola's relationship with the instruments and focused the ear on the subtleties of Berlioz's orchestration. Together with Burnard's unfailingly warm and mellow tone, it made for a most atmospheric interpretation.

Stravinsky's Pulcinella was faithfully realised. For the singers, the quirky balance between Pergolesi's pre-classical and Stravinsky's neo-classical style is hard to negotiate, but Hickox's trio of soloists - Sara Fulgoni, James Gilchrist and Roderick Williams - managed well.

The high point of the English Symphony Orchestra's concert under William Boughton was the appearance of Llyr Williams as soloist in Schumann's Piano Concerto. The austerity of Williams's demeanour belies the glowing tonal colouring he creates. Fantasy and lyricism were effortlessly conjured in the first movement, and while the sheer exuberance of the finale might in others have seemed reckless, there was never any doubt the pianist was in absolute control.
