Sir Simon Rattle launches the London Symphony Orchestra's new season with 'New Music Britain.'
In this concert, which spans 300 years of British music, the LSO and the LSO Chorus range from Purcell's agonised funeral sentences to the premiere of two movements by Julian Anderson inspired by the poetry of exile. And at the heart of the programme comes Vaughan Williams's Pastoral Symphony, the composer's deeply personal response to the traumas he encountered in the trenches of the Western Front.
Recorded at the Barbican Hall, London and presented by Martin Handley.
