大象传媒

Conductor Angus Webster travels to his native Cornwall with the 大象传媒 National Orchestra of Wales for a celebration of music in England in the beautifully refurbished Hall for Cornwall in Truro. Continuing celebrations of his 150th birthday, Ralph Vaughan Williams's gloriously ethereal Fantasia on a theme by Thomas Tallis begins the concert, before we move to a piece premiered in London only 14 years earlier, Dvo艡谩k's tone poem, The Water Goblin. For the piece, Dvo艡谩k sets music to a poem which describes the malevolent Goblin of the title abducting a maiden at his lake. The sound of striking scaffolding poles announces the second half, when Webster and the 大象传媒 National Orchestra of Wales give us music from another Cornishman鈦�, Graham Fitkin and his piece Metal. The evening then finishes with possibly the most-loved work of English music, Elgar's Enigma Variations鈥攁 piece he wrote about, and dedicated to, his "friends pictured within".

Presented by Petroc Trelawny and recorded on the 26th of May in Truro's Hall for Cornwall.
