High-spirited, evocative, and dramatic, this concert is a brilliant showcase of British orchestral music, performed by the London Symphony Orchestra.
From mythic rebirth to intimate lyricism and a sweeping cityscape, this concert is a perfectly balanced emotional journey through the music of Thea Musgrave, William Walton, and Ralph Vaughan Williams.
The heart of this concert is Walton's Viola Concert, performed by celebrated violist Antoine Tamestit. The piece was originally written for Lionel Tertis, who initially rejected the concerto. The piece is rarely performed due to the demands it places on both the soloist and the orchestra. But in the hands of Tamestit, the piece is absolute expressive delight.
The concert is rounded out by Thea Musgrave's thrilling curtain raiser, "Phoenix Rising," and Vaughan Williams' "Symphony No.2, a London Symphony." This concert is full of life, atmosphere, and energy.
