Tippett’s ‘Ritual Dances’ are from his ravishing opera The Midsummer Marriage, a work brimming over with mythology, symbolism and psychological journeys.
Turnage has worked with legendary jazz guitarist John Scofield for over two decades, and the world premiere of Sco, a new Guitar Concerto, is a landmark moment in the repertoire – commissioned to celebrate Sir Simon Rattle’s 70th birthday.
Vaughan Williams’ Symphony No 5 is one of the composer’s most heartfelt statements, evolving from a wistful opening prelude to a calm, meditative conclusion.
