Work: The Oceanides symphonic poem for orchestra, (Aallottaret) Op.73

Elder's reading of A Sea Symphony has the maturity and surefooted-ness of a conductor who has fully absorbed the work and long since recognised it as a masterpiece.

The London Philharmonic and Edward Gardner steer us through four ocean-related pieces, by Sibelius, Tippett, Ravel and Debussy.

John Storgårds conducts the NSO through Sibelius, Polevá, and Shostakovich at the National Concert Hall, while pianist Yukine Kuroki delivers Rachmaninov with luminous precision.
