A magical and beautiful symphony compiled from music of James Nathaniel Holland's ballet, The Snow Queen as a concert piece. The first movement is a buffet of musical styles, the second a beautiful and lyrical bittersweet longing of the strings and winds with solo violin, the third a rousing finish.
