In a concert celebrating the Philharmonia Chorus' 60th anniversary, Edward Gardner conducts a concert featuring three English composers. Elgar's epic concert overture In the South, written during a family holiday in Italy, precedes the London premiere of Joseph Phibbs's new Clarinet Concerto, dedicated to and performed by Mark van de Wiel. In Walton's dramatic cantata Belshazzar's Feast, massed choral and orchestral forces tell the story of King Belshazzar, including the ominous 'writing on the wall' that foretells his fate.
