Composer of the Week

Robert Simpson (1921 - 1997)

Part Four

The great musicologist Hans Keller once remarked of Robert Simpson that the fearless, artless integrity of the man becomes a matter of course, hardly worth mentioning: there is no more substantial compliment in art or life. Donald Macleod and Stephen Johnson discuss, and listen to, just one piece: Simpson's epic 9th Symphony, one of the truly great works of recent years.

Symphony No 9
Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra
Vernon Handley (conductor)

13:00

Lunchtime Concert

City of London Festival 2005

Ailish Tynan sings Ravel

From the Skinners Hall. Presented by Fiona Talkington. Ravel was one of the most original musicians of the early 20th century. His fascination with the exotic, and his pushing of the 19th century boundaries in his instrumental writing, can be heard in today's concert featuring his sultry Chansons Madécasses, and the true classic of 20th century piano music, Gaspard de la Nuit, as well as his piano trio.

Ravel: Chansons Madécasses; Gaspard de la Nuit; Piano Trio Am

Cedric Tiberghien (piano)
Christian Poltera (cello)
Alina Ibragimova (violin)

Prom 13 Part One

Another chance to hear Sunday's Prom. Noted Elgar conductor, Mark Elder, conducts what he calls a very special work, with many wonderful moments. This glorious setting of Cardinal Newman's poem, which was given to Elgar as a wedding present, inspires and compels with a joint choir of over 350 singers, as it follows the journey of Gerontius from his deathbed into the very presence of God.
