Elgar called his Second Symphony 鈥榯he passionate pilgrimage of a soul鈥� and some people think it鈥檚 his greatest, the composer at his most vulnerable and revealing, as its bouncing swagger gives way to music of haunting beauty and deep emotion. Our Chief Conductor Ryan Wigglesworth closes the season with this huge work which just bursts with feeling and orchestral colour. But before then, let 2012鈥檚 大象传媒 Young Musician, Laura van der Heijden, delight you with Walton鈥檚 vigorous and heartfelt Cello Concerto. The youthful energy and virtuosity of her playing surely makes her the perfect soloist for this work, thought by the composer鈥檚 wife to be a portrait of their marriage.
