Vassily Sinaisky (conductor)

Vassily Sinaisky, a Russian conductor with a real affinity for English music returns to the 大象传媒 Philharmonic in a programme which opens with Vaughan Williams's timeless Tallis Fantasia, his working for three groups of strings of a sixteenth-century psalm tune by Thomas Tallis. Vadim Gluzman joins them for Sofia Gubaidulina's 'Offertorium'; which also takes spiritual inspiration from music from an earlier era, here Bach's 'Musical Offering', providing the basis for spellbinding music of sacred drama and sacrifice. Vaughan Williams described his Pastoral Symphony, a personal response to the First World War, as 'war-time music' rather than 'lambkins frisking', a lonely bugler, horn and a wordless voice help conjure the bleakness of the battle-fields.
