演出简介

Andrew Litton conducts violinist Nicola Benedetti and the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra with the Ladies of the London Symphony Chorus in a performance of truly "Great Classics" at London's famous Royal Albert Hall.

Although he composed several choral and orchestral works, Bruch’s fame today rests largely on one phenomenally successful piece – Violin Concerto No.1 in G minor. Richly melodic and sumptuously orchestrated, this enchanting work is beloved of performers and audiences alike.



The Concerto is framed by two English masterworks – Elgar’s unashamedly romantic celebration of London and Holst’s extraordinary "The Planets". The Suite embraces the martial, the magical and the mystical, with its terrifying visions of war in "Mars" and the rollicking "Jupiter", which gave to the world the song "I Vow to Thee, My Country".
