Having conducted Britten’s Peter Grimes last year as
Music Director of English National Opera, Edward
Gardner joins the BBC Symphony Orchestra for
the four evocative Sea Interludes from the opera.
The heartrending strings and tolling bell of the Cantus
by Arvo Pärt (75 this year) form a hypnotic tribute
to Britten; and the programme ends with the
Fifth Symphony by one of Britten’s great friends
– a work which brought Shostakovich back
into favour with the Soviet authorities.
Former Radio 3 New Generation Artist
Alina Ibragimova performs the new
concerto by Huw Watkins, who, as a
pianist, often appears with her in recital.
