Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra: Serenade

O wydarzeniu

The Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra is one of the oldest concert‐giving organisations in the world, and the second oldest in Britain. The orchestra gives over sixty concerts from September to June in the bright, pleasant ambience and excellent acoustic of Philharmonic Hall.

There is much more to British music than Pomp and Circumstance and larks ascending. As the RLPO continue their Made in Britain series, the charismatic British conductor John Wilson uncovers the hidden side of four great British masters. Gustav Holst dabbles with the occult in a truly diabolical ballet suite, while Edward Elgar tries a little tenderness in his delicate Serenade for Strings. Englishman abroad William Walton basks in the Italian sunshine in his post‐war Cello Concerto: the Orchestra’s popular Principal Cello Jonathan Aasgaard will capture all its operatic flair. And the 86‐year‐old Ralph Vaughan Williams stares boldly into the infinite in his incredible, visionary Ninth Symphony. What he shows us might surprise you.
