Two visions of India and a portrait of
London. Gustav Holst’s fascination with
Sanksrit literature found early expression in
the 1903 tone-poem Indra, composed before the
first set of his Hymns from the Rig Veda (see PCM 5).
David Atherton conducts the BBC National
Orchestra of Wales in this and the world premiere
of Nishat Khan’s Sitar Concerto No. 1, with the
composer as soloist. First performed in 1914,
Vaughan Williams’s A London Symphony evokes
the chimes of Westminster, a chill November
in Bloomsbury and the bright
lights of the Strand in a city that
would soon be scarred by war.Tickets £7.50 - £36.
