Sir Simon Rattle celebrates his 70th birthday with the LSO in a concert of British music: Vaughan Williams, Tippett and the world premi猫re of Mark-Anthony Turnage's guitar concerto 鈥� composed for top jazz guitarist John Scofield who's collaborated with Turnage for more than 20 years. "Knowing that Mark-Anthony Turnage鈥檚 piece would be very jazzy and very rhythmic," says Simon Rattle, "I felt that the extraordinary serenity of the Vaughan Williams Fifth Symphony would sit well with it, and Tippett鈥檚 Ritual Dances is one of the great British scores, a virtuoso piece."

Presented by Ian Skelly.
