The LSO and Sir Simon Rattle

Sir Simon Rattle conducts the London Symphony Orchestra are conducted by in Elgar's Second Symphony, Bridge's Enter Spring, and Sun Poem, a new piece by Daniel Kidane.

Presented by Ian Skelly

As the LSO鈥檚 Music Director, Sir Simon Rattle makes a point of beginning each new season with a celebration of British music in all its diversity 鈥� past, present and future. Tonight鈥檚 concert begins with Sun Poem, a recent piece about the journey of fatherhood by Daniel Kidane. In the words of one reviewer: 鈥淎 single muted trumpet note sounded hesitantly, which gave birth to another note in the flutes, then another in the brass. Suddenly the whole orchestra seemed to be capering madly, suggesting an enticing future ahead of the new-born.鈥�

After this, Frank Bridge celebrates the dazzling rebirth of nature in Enter Spring, and Elgar traces what he called "the passionate pilgrimage of the soul" in his Second Symphony.
