Presented by Petroc Trelawny, from the Barbican, London. The 大象传媒 Symphony Orchestra's concert of British music concludes with Delius's tone poem The Song of the High Hills.

Presented live from the Barbican, Petroc Trelawny introduces a concert by the 大象传媒 Symphony Orchestra and Chorus.

British music, a central part of the 大象传媒 Symphony Orchestra life since its birth, is celebrated in style tonight under Sir Andrew Davis. The Orchestra's Conductor Laureate sets the pace with the world premiere of Edwin Roxburgh's exhilarating Concerto for Orchestra before turning to Elgar's portrayal of Shakespeare's 'fat knight'. The concert closes with Delius's sublime tone-poem, The Song of the High Hills, a work inspired by Norway's landscape and nature.
