Symffoni’r Môr Mawr – A Transatlantic Symphony: the full recording, performed by the BBC National Orchestra of Wales with Sir Bryn Terfel, soprano Ellen Williams and pianist Chloe Flower, composed by Katie Jenkins.
A gift from the people of Wales to the United States, marking 250 years since the signing of the Declaration of Independence. Recorded at Hoddinott Hall, Wales Millennium Centre, Cardiff, this three-movement orchestral work with voices traces the journey of early Welsh settlers to America — moving from bro (community) to byd (world) — with lyrics in both English and Welsh.
This video is the full 18-minute recording session in full, music only.
