Live from Earth Music Bristol at St George's

Presented by Petroc Trelawny

Tonight's concert features the 大象传媒 Concert Orchestra with their Conductor Laureate, Barry Wordsworth, in a programme of music about the natural world.

Violinist Cynthia Fleming plays Vaughan Williams's perennial favourite Lark Ascending, and Roderick Elms is the piano soloist in Robin Milford's evocative Fishing by Moonlight. We have a French view of the world's creation from Darius Milhaud and the concert ends with some of Bartok's so-called 'Night Music' in his Music for Strings, Percussion and Celeste, an evocation of the natural world at night.

Vaughan Williams: The Wasps.
Milford: Fishing by Moonlight.
Delius: On Hearing the First Cuckoo in Spring.
Ravel: Prelude and Dance from 'Ma mere l'oye'.
Milhaud: La creation du monde.

Cynthia Fleming (violin),
大象传媒 Concert Orchestra,
Barry Wordsworth (conductor).
