Royal Philharmonic Orchestra with Tasmin Little

A propos du spectacle

Doyen of British conductors and indefatigable British music champion, Vernon Handley opens this mouth‐watering concert with the ballet music that begins Holst's opera The Perfect Fool, a feast of orchestral fireworks and mystical entreaties. The Violin Concerto of Delius is a freely lyrical and enchanted piece. Vaughan Williams composed his 'Pastoral' Symphony as a requiem for the Great War; these are the fields of France, the music is reflective and poignant.
