Conductor Rumon Gamba joins the orchestra for a live 大象传媒 Radio 3 broadcast of English tone-poems.

Opening with Frederic Hymen Cowen鈥檚 romantic Reverie, we also hear a piece from Manchester-born Eric Fogg 鈥� whose Merok paints a musical picture of a small Norwegian town.

M锚l茅e Fantasque 鈥� a colourful work from Arthur Bliss - is dedicated to the memory of Claude Lovat Fraser who Bliss described as a 鈥榞reat and lovable artist鈥�. Bliss balances colourful passages 鈥� inspired by many of Lovat Fraser鈥檚 paintings 鈥� with elegiac undertones that hint of loss and grief.

Perhaps most known as a conductor rather than a composer 鈥� Eugene Goossens鈥檚 short but haunting By The Tarn puts his composition skills at the forefront today, and we also hear a previously little-known early work by Vaughan Williams - the atmospheric Harnham Down.

This afternoon鈥檚 programme also includes Dorothy Howell鈥檚 debut orchestral work, Lamia. which Sir Henry Wood premiered at the 大象传媒 Proms in 1919 - and Arnell鈥檚 Symphony No. 3, The New Age - Overture.
