This one must go to the Welshman. It's a tremendous piece, absolutely deserving of a professional recording (I'm looking at you, @Rumongamba & @ChandosRecords) & a berth in the next round. Vote Painter! 🏴

Christopher Painter’s Cardiff Festival Overture was his first orchestral commission, written whilst a masters student at @cardiffunimusic. “The brief was to come up with a Waltonesque concert opener.” Premiered in Dec 1985 by the university orchestra & Michael Bell.

Deeply proud of @ROrchestra after yesterday's mammoth performance. Introducing @GraceTrumpet's remarkable Illustrations to the Legend of Rhiannon to perhaps its 1st audience outside a BBC studio. And the audience in tears and cheers after a deeply emotional Elgar 2. What a night.
