大象传媒 Proms 2009

A Prom by the 大象传媒 Philharmonic celebrating the music of three great British composers who died in 1934 - Edward Elgar, Frederick Delius and Gustav Holst.

Elgar's overture Cockaigne is a lively and colourful musical portrait of Edwardian London, with snapshots of cockneys, courting couples, church bells and a brass band playing in the park. Delius captures the sense of peace of the high Norwegian mountains, while Holst explores the peace (and war) of worlds much further afield in The Planets, with its mystical ending.

Elgar: Cockaigne (In London Town)
Delius: The Song of the High Hills
Holst: The Planets
