The Spirit of England
A quintessentially English programme of evocative music from four of the country’s finest composers. Beginning with Vaughan Williams, we hear two of his best-loved works, ranging from the angry buzzing of The Wasps Overture to the soaring Lark Ascending. Elgar’s ever-popular Cello Concerto, with its sweeping themes and elegiac beauty, combines perfectly with the charming Chanson de Matin. The concert is completed with rich melodies from Delius and Coates’ London Suite, containing the well-known ‘Knightsbridge March’.
