William Walton, James MacMillan, Haydn

Queen Victoria mounts a rocking horse with quirky surrealism from William Walton, driving energy from MacMillan and brief respite from Bach. Plus Haydn, Tchaikovsky and Stravinsky.

Queen Victoria is sitting shocked on a rocking horse and the pizzicato fingers are on full alert for In Tune's specially curated playlist. Featuring Bach's ferocious Prelude in C minor, part of William Walton's surreal Facade (with words by the ever imaginative Edith Sitwell), a plucky movement from Tchaikovsky's 4th symphony, buccaneering textures from Haydn's 88th symphony, a raucous rhythmic dance from James Macmillan's percussion concerto Veni, Veni, Emmanuel; plus Stravinsky's inventive concerto for two pianos and - from the other side - Django Reinhardt with a classic tune. Strap yourselves in for a lively start to the evening....
