Symfonieorkest Vlaanderen / Duncan Ward

November invites us to reflect. With All Saints' Day and Armistice Day, we pause to remember the past: what happened, and what should never have happened. This month calls for personal and cultural contemplation - a sentiment echoed in this programme, in which the Flanders Symphony Orchestra, conducted by Duncan Ward and featuring soloist Alexandra Soumm, allows each composer to tell their own story and history.

Vaughan Williams, scarred by the horrors of the First World War, recalls better times with a sense of wistful longing. In his music, he seeks an escape from the madness of war through stillness, tenderness, and poetry, all within a quintessentially English pastoral soundscape.

Conversely, Mozart and Dvořák brim with vitality and joyful memories of home. Mozart in a typically Viennese manner, Dvořák with a warm nod to his Bohemian roots. Come and find solace and remembrance in this moving music.
