Aldeburgh Festival: City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra

Kazuki Yamada conducts the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra in music by Holst, Britten and Elgar.

The City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra's new Chief Conductor, Kazuki Yamada, directs the orchestra in a programme of English music given as part of this year's Aldeburgh Festival. The tenor Ian Bostridge is joined by the orchestra's principal horn Elspeth Dutch for Benjamin Britten's much loved Serenade and Gustav Holst offers a tribute to Kazuki Yamada's homeland in his rarely heard Japanese Suite. Finally the orchestra pays homage to one of its early guiding spirits, Edward Elgar, with a performance of the composer's First Symphony. The presenter is Martin Handley.
