The CBSO and Music Director Mirga Gražinytė-Tyla celebrate the centenary of Mieczysław Weinberg the man Shostakovich hailed as ‘one of the most outstanding composers’ of his day – with a rare performance of his Symphony No. 3, a work that combines folk melodies and dances with confessional urgency.
That intensity is shared by Elgar’s passionate Cello Concerto, performed here by 2016 Â鶹ԼÅÄ Young Musician winner Sheku Kanneh-Mason.
The concert opens with Dorothy Howell’s radiant tone-poem Lamia (first performed, like Elgar’s concerto, 100 years ago) and also includes The Way to Castle Yonder, a suite from the much-missed Oliver Knussen’s opera Higglety Pigglety Pop!
Approx. end time: 21:40
Broadcast on Â鶹ԼÅÄ Four on Sunday 25 August
