Live from the Royal Concert Hall, Nottingham
Presented by Tom McKinney
The 大象传媒 Philharmonic are joined by conductor Ben Gernon and Jess Gillam for a UK premiere of their newly announced Composer in Association, Anna Clyne; her saxophone concerto, Glasslands; the banshee of Irish folklore making her presence felt in this music written for tonight's soloist. "London Town" is the back-drop for Elgar's Cockaigne Overture, a brilliant portrait of life and all its vigour in the bustling streets of the English capital at the end of the Victorian era. After the interval the orchestra bring Ravel's magical pictures of an imaginary fairy-tale world to life with music from his ballet 'Mother Goose', and Beethoven's powerful Fifth Symphony ends the programme.
