Symphony No.3 'Pastoral'

Jennifer Johnston, mezzo-soprano
Andrew Manze, conductor
Vaughan Williams is the sound of England - but which England? Ancient cathedrals and green fields, or an industrial nation steeling itself for war? Tonight, Andrew Manze takes a personal journey through the many worlds of this very British master. Beginning in the deep calm of the Tallis Fantasia, he unleashes the mechanical hell of the shattering Fourth Symphony, is joined by mezzo-soprano Jennifer Johnston in the rural idyll of Linden Lea and brings out the sadness and shadows behind the tranquil surface of the lovely Pastoral Symphony - Vaughan Williams's haunted memorial to the friends he lost in the First World War. Still waters run deep, and no conductor loves this music more than Andrew Manze.
