Complete performance

As part of the South Bank Centre's major festival celebrating the music of Sir Peter Maxwell Davies, Richard Hickox conducts the City of London Sinfonia in an all-British concert. Penny Gore presents.
The programme includes a premiere of a piece by Maxwell Davies called A Dance on the Hill which was commissioned by the BBC. The composer calls it "a simple memorial stone" for one of his favourite poets, the Orkney islander George Mackay Brown.
