Concert Information

Principal Guest Conductor John Storg氓rds opens today鈥檚 programme with Grieg鈥檚 gentle Lyric Suite. An orchestration of four of his most popular Lyric Pieces, Grieg鈥檚 Suite is ripe with delicate textures -and this utterly delightful musical miniature certainly reinforces his gift for sound-painting.

The grit and astringency of Vaughan Williams鈥檚 Sixth Symphony follows. Noteworthy for its unusually discordant harmonic language, no-one expected the sheer, explosive force of his astonishing Sixth and, 70 years on, this firestorm of a symphony still leaves listeners reeling. John Storg氓rds unleashes its power this afternoon.

This concert is a live broadcast for 成人论坛 Radio 3.
