Programme

Concert information

In the darkest hours of the Second World War, the 70-year old Ralph Vaughan Williams offered a vision of peace. And from misty opening to visionary finish, the Fifth is the Vaughan Williams symphony par excellence: expansive, eloquent and rapturously beautiful. But it鈥檚 got teeth, too, and if anyone can unlock its latent drama, it鈥檚 Nicholas Carter, Donald Runnicles鈥 operatic colleague in Berlin. He鈥檚 paired it with another haunted vison of a better world by Vaughan Williams鈥 friend and mentor Ravel, and set them both against the soaring lyricism and dazzling sheen of Barber鈥檚 Violin Concerto, performed by Valeriy Sokolov. 鈥淏rilliance without ostentation鈥 declared The Daily Telegraph.

The concert will be recorded for future broadcast on 大象传媒 Radio 3.
