The Hong Kong Philharmonic in works by Britten, Debussy and Brahms

Alan Yu, 19th May

The central character in Benjamin Britten’s opera Peter Grimes is a fisherman outcast contending with the wrath of his community. The score for the Four Sea Interludes, extracted from it, weaves often threadbare orchestral parts into a menacing mosaic of moods in the story and conditions which the characters have to battle.
