Broadcasts
The BBC SO's Conductor Laureate returns for a trio of major British works given their world premieres at the Proms since the BBC took over their running in 1927. Delius's evocative A Song of Summer was premiered in the relative calm of the interwar years.Vaughan Williams conducted the premiere of his Fifth Symphony during the Blitz of 1943, after which Adrian Boult wrote to him: 'Its serene loveliness is completely satisfying in these times and shows, as only music can, what we must work for when this madness is over.' Tippett's radiant and virtuosic Triple Concerto, here played by three outstanding young soloists, shows the influence of Indonesian gamelan music, which the composer had heard on a trip to Java and Bali.
