British music isn鈥檛 always what you expect. Edward Elgar was a shopkeeper鈥檚 son from a country town, but his First Symphony spans worlds 鈥� a sweeping, multicoloured musical autobiography on a magnificent scale, burning with passion and beginning (as well as ending) with a melody you鈥檒l never forget. Jonathan Woolgar comes from West Yorkshire, but in his award-winning Canzoni et Ricercari he travels in time to the Renaissance, unlocking new sounds of bracing power and haunting beauty.
Our Chief Conductor Ryan Wigglesworth brings a composer鈥檚 creativity to these two astonishing scores 鈥� and joins 大象传媒 Young Musician 2014 Martin James Bartlett, to celebrate the brilliance, the wit and the unchained inspiration of Mozart.
