Following the death earlier this week of Sir Andrew Davis, Radio 3 revisits his last appearance at the 大象传媒 Proms, conducting the 4th symphonies of both Vaughan WIlliams and Tippet.
Following the death earlier this week of conductor Sir Andrew Davis, Radio 3 revisits his last appearance at the 大象传媒 Proms.
Davis was one of the great exponents of the music of Michael Tippett, and in July 2022 he conducted the 大象传媒 Philharmonic in a Prom that paired Tippett's extraordinary Fourth Symphony with Vaughan Williams's own Fourth Symphony.
Introduced by Andrew McGregor.
Ralph Vaughan Williams: Symphony No 4 in F minor
Interval - reflecting on Sir Andrew Davis's musical legacy, we're joined by mezzo-soprano Catherine Wyn-Rogers, former director of the 大象传媒 Symphony Orchestra Paul Hughes, and former violinist with the 大象传媒 Symphony Orchestra Daniel Meyer.
Michael Tippett: Symphony No 4
British music: it isn't always what you think. Written as Europe lurched towards the war, Vaughan Williams's volcanic Fourth Symphony is a mighty cry of protest and rage, expressed in music that burns itself into the soul. A generation later, in the Cold War, Michael Tippett began his final symphony with the most primal of sounds - a human breath. This isn't so much a symphony as a whole life, in all its rapture, its chaos and its teeming, tumultuous beauty.
