Vaughan Williams: The Lark Ascending
Dvor谩k : Symphony No.7 in D minor, Op.70
Smetana's propulsive overture to his breakthrough comic opera, The Bartered Bride, launches this gala concert by the world renowned Czech Philharmonic. They're joined by British violinist, Chlo毛 Hanslip for Mendelssohn's Violin Concerto, whose blend of soaring lyricism and virtuosity remains unsurpassed. Chlo毛 evokes an altogether different mood in Vaughan Williams's rhapsodic The Lark Ascending. Like Vaughan Williams, Dvor谩k drew deeply on his native folk music and his 7th Symphony took this to new heights, its smouldering opening catching fire in the most intense and dramatic of all his symphonic writing.
