Hear three British classics of hypnotic poetic intensity.
The concert opens with Bax's magical distillation of the Cornish landscape, inspired by the imposing presence of Tintagel Castle.
The improvisatory musings of Walton's favourite of his three concertos are perfectly matched by the heartfelt meditations of Vaughan Williams's Fifth Symphony, dedicated in appreciation to Sibelius
