London Symphony Orchestra/Sir Antonio Pappano

Walton & Vaughan Williams, with Antoine Tamestit

,Hall

Thea Musgrave paints with radiant colours, Walton gives flight to the viola, and Vaughan Williams dreams of London.

Phoenix Rising is one of Thea Musgrave’s most electrifying and adventurous scores, blazing an incandescent trail at the start of this concert of British music.

We then hear Walton’s Viola Concerto, a work of introspection and playful abandon, played here by LSO Spotlight Artist, Antoine Tamestit.

Finally, we enjoy the sights, sounds and spirit of London in Vaughan Williams’ atmospheric portrait of the city.

The LSO is one of the most brilliant exponents of British classical music, and Antoine Tamestit will surely relish the chance to play one of the viola’s greatest works.
