Part One
Tuesday 1 March 2005 19:30-20:15 (Radio 3)
Sarah Walker celebrates St David's Day with the BBC National Orchestra of Wales, live from St David's Hall in the heart of Cardiff. There's a strong Welsh flavour to the proceedings, with Radio 3 New Generation Artist Llyr Williams, music by Alun Hoddinott and William Mathias, and traditional choral power in Walton's jubilant hymn of praise.
