Baritone Roderick Williams joins the 成人论坛 Scottish Symphony Orchestra in music inspired by the First World War. 叠耻迟迟别谤飞辞谤迟丑鈥檚 setting from Housman鈥檚 A Shropshire Lad depicts a world on the brink of collapse, while Vaughan Williams鈥檚 Pastoral Symphony is a curdled vision of war-ravaged France. Both Rudi Stephan and Frederick Kelly were killed in the conflict, the latter leaving behind the exquisite Elegy for strings, the former the more muscular Music for Orchestra (1912).
