'A London Symphony (Symphony No. 2) 57, Vaughan Williams |
| Performance Notes | From Westminster Bridge and the bells of Big Ben to Bloomsbury Square, in his A London Symphony Vaughan Williams depicts the English capital, where horses still trotted through the streets and the countryside could be glimpsed from Marble Arch.
Elgars stout and steaky picture-postcard scenes of London life join anniversary composer Holsts Hammersmith, commissioned for the BBC Military Band, in saluting the city.
Vaughan Williamss teacher Stanford (who died 100 years ago) completes the programme, with a selection of reflective songs performed by leading British baritone Christopher Maltman.
Broadcast live on BBC Radio 3. |
