A Child of Our Time
The LPO is joined by the London Adventist Chorale, plus an exceptional team of soloists in a performance of Tippett's great wartime oratorio.
鈥淭he world turns on its dark side鈥: so begins Michael Tippett鈥檚 choral masterpiece 鈥楢 Child of our Time鈥, composed during the early years of the Second World War and giving expression to Tippett鈥檚 hopes for a better world. Tippett鈥檚 secular oratorio is built around the plangent melodies of African-American spirituals 鈥 and for this performance, the LPO forces are joined by the London Adventist Chorale, plus an exceptional team of soloists.
Vaughan Williams鈥檚 Serenade to Music 鈥 written just a year earlier, by another musical visionary 鈥 offers radiant calm before Tippett鈥檚 emotional storm.
Presented by Martin Handley.
