鈥淔ree but happy鈥� is the motto that Brahms gave to his Third Symphony, and it opens with all the freshness of a summer storm. What comes next is a musical landscape of rolling clouds, tender lullabies, and radiant sunsets: a haunting finish to a concert that鈥檚 all about light, shade, and deep feelings. If you thought Elgar鈥檚 popular Cello Concerto was merely the sound of green fields and rolling hills, think again, as cellist Dai Miyata 鈥� praised by critics for his 鈥渟ublime beauty of tone鈥� 鈥� joins Ryan Wigglesworth to uncover its troubled soul. And explore a new world of sound from the imagination of Lisa Illean, who creates music (it鈥檚 been said) from 鈥渆xquisitely quiet shadows鈥�.
