Production details
Walton's infectious and incisive overture makes a brilliant opening to this concert of English music. His violin concerto, which follows, is much more romantic and lyrical in mood, packed with examples of his flair for telling orchestral colour, and one of his most inspired pieces. Holst's glittering sequence of movements depicting the astrological ‘characters' of the planets is largely bold and extrovert, but ends with the mysterious frozen stillness of Neptune. The Philharmonia Orchestra is Anvil Arts' Orchestra in Partnership
