This Wigmore Hall lunchtime concert was a bit unusual.
Camerata RCO is the scaled-down chamber orchestra bit of the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra. They are making a bit of a reputation for themselves playing scaled-down versions of enormous symphonies, such as this sixth one by Anton Bruckner.
It’s all explained on the Wigmore Hall stub for this concert – click here.
Does this idea work? It was a BBC Lunchtime concert, so if you get here within 30 days of the concert you can listen here.
Or you might listen to the album version, e.g. on your favourite streaming platform – YouTube link here.
We rather liked it, although I don’t think we’ll be elbowing people out of the way to grab tickets for another such concert in a hurry.
A lovely way to spend a lunchtime, though – at The Wig.
