With Sarah Walker. Including Messiaen: Turangalila Symphony (excerpt).
Duration: 2 hours, 15 minutes
Presented by Catherine Bott.
From the Lighthouse in Poole, the Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra with repertoire steeped in English tradition: David Hill takes to the rostrum to conduct Bax's Tintagel, an atmospheric tone poem inspired by the legend of King Arthur and his castle; Elgar's Violin Concerto, a deeply personal statement, performed by Dutch soloist Simone Lamsma on the 100th anniversary -to the day- of the piece's premiere; and to end, Walton's Belshazzar's Feast with baritone James Rutherford -a piece full of rhythmic vitality and jazz influences, which rejuvenated the English Oratorio.
