| Note: | |
Guy Johnston won the title of BBC Young Musician of the Year in 2000 with his stunning performance of the Shostakovich Cello Concert No.1. In this concert he performs the Elgar Cello Concerto to mark the 150th anniversary of the composer’s birth. Delius was often referred to as one of music’s poets and he took his inspiration for On Hearing The First Cuckoo In Spring whilst living near a river. The text for Vaughan Williams’ choral masterpiece A Sea Symphony comes from Leaves of Grass by Walt Whitman whose use of free verse rather than traditional metric verse appealed to Vaughan Williams’ desire to have a text that ebbed and flowed like the sea. The New Queen’s Hall Orchestra’s early 20th century instruments will recreate the sounds as would have been heard by all three composers themselves. |
