Crawford-Phillips/ Västerås Sinfonietta
Kings Place, 19th February 2020
If laughter is the best medicine, then the power of music to uplift the spirits cannot be far behind, especially when the music-making is imbued with such unadulterated joy. I doubt I’ve seen an orchestra have quite as much fun as the Västerås Sinfonietta last night at Kings Place. Presenting a programme entitled Wild Waves and Woods as part of the venue’s Nature Unwrapped series, it threw caution to the wind in exuberant accounts under Simon Crawford-Phillips that took us from the Isle of Staffa to Bohemian forests via the Carpathian Mountains.
