Presented by Martin Handley

Beethoven: Overture 'Coriolan'
Beethoven: Symphony No 6 in F, (Pastoral)
Elgar: Violin Concerto

For Beethoven nature was almost a substitute for religion; his Pastoral Symphony is a loving portrayal of the countryside and its people, and a perennial favourite with audiences. It is preceded here by one of his most dramatic concert overtures.

Elgar's Violin Concerto is less well-known than his Cello Concerto, but exceeds it in length and ambition. Written in 1910 for the great Fritz Kreisler, it is played tonight by one of today's most distinguished virtuosos.
