INTERVAL
'Pastoral Symphony (No.3)', Vaughan Williams
Performance NotesButterworth's A Shropshire Lad reflects a world on the brink of collapse while Vaughan Williams's Pastoral Symphony is a vision of war-ravaged France.

Like Butterworth, both Rudi Stephan and Frederick Kelly were killed in the First World War; the latter's exquisite Elegy for strings was performed at his own memorial concert.

Stephan's Music for Orchestra (1912) finds a desperate intensity in its Expressionist colours.

The concert was recorded and broadcast on BBC Four on 22 August 2014.
The event was broadcast on BBC Radio 3.
