Purcell (orch. Manze for wind and brass) - Fantasia upon one note
Dvorák - Cello Concerto
Vaughan Williams - A London Symphony
Conductor
Andrew Manze
Featuring:
Jian Wang, cello
This spectacular concert has a very British theme. An intriguing fantasia by Purcell is in splendid new colours, thanks to the concert’s conductor. Dvorak’s glorious Cello Concerto was written in America but first performed in London. Finally Vaughan Williams’s second symphony captures the essence of Edwardian London with its Westminster Chimes, the cry of lavender sellers, the jingling harnesses of hansom cabs and the mouth organ of the Cockneys. Vaughan Williams also cites Bloomsbury Square, The Strand and the mighty Thames as the inspiration for his London Symphony. This concert will be conducted by Andrew Manze featuring soloist Jian Wang.
