Performance NotesBBC commission and world premiere of 'Epithalamium', Hugh Wood.

Broadcast live on BBC Radio 3.

Nielsen and Hugh Wood performances were recorded for broadcast on BBC Four on 30 July.

Afternoon heat breeds musical languor in a Prom that drifts from Delius’s summer garden to the classical landscapes of Ravel’s lovers Daphnis and Chloe. Former BBC Radio 3 New Generation Artist Mark Simpson is the soloist in anniversary composer Nielsen’s intimate, playful Clarinet Concerto. Hugh Wood’s Epithalamium is a new cantata that delights in John Donne’s sensuous and jubilant verse.
