About "St. Paul's Suite, Op. 29 No. 2: I. Jig" by Bournemouth Sinfonietta
Holst’s Jig from St. Paul’s Suite is a folk-inflected whirlwind, but the Bournemouth Sinfonietta lends it a crisp, almost modernist edge. Beneath the jaunty fiddle tune lurks a hint of wistfulness, as if the dance is a temporary escape from something darker.
