Details

Part of the BBC Proms. E. J. Moeran's Symphony was written partly in Norfolk, partly in County Kerry, and seems to evoke the landscapes, seashores and folk idioms of both. Finzi's neo-Classical Grand Fantasia caps an unaccompanied and clearly Bach-inspired piano solo with a jaunty, finger-tapping Toccata. And we mark the 75th anniversary of Elgar's death with his Second Symphony, a nobly expansive exploration of past sorrows recalled and exorcised. Approx. end time: 22:05
