Intérprete: Brighton Philharmonic Orchestra

Warm Vaughan Williams and energetic Richter and Vivaldi from MacGregor and the BPO strings, with an astonishing performance of Tavener’s The Protecting Veil from Guy Johnston the highlight. 

Joanna MacGregor and the Brighton Philharmonic Orchestra bring their 100th season to a triumphant conclusion at the Brighton Dome. 

After the overture, whose two movements, fast and slow, were adequately dispatched by a suitably small orchestra, the audience mistook the arrival of an orchestral horn player as that of the soloist himself, and burst into applause, which turned to laughter as the mistake became obvious.
