Continuing its focus on rarely-performed British music this autumn, the BBC Symphony Orchestraand conductor Michael Seal give a concert of music by Malcolm Arnold, Britten and Adrian Sutton at Maida Vale Studios.
Malcolm Arnold's fifth symphony is a remembrance of four of his friends who tragically died at a young age. With its underlying dark tensions, and Adagio, it has a clear Mahlerian influence, and was said to be the composer's favourite of his nine symphonies. Hear Britten's highly virtuosic Diversions for Piano Left Hand and Orchestra performed by the gifted young pianist and BBC New Generation Artist Pavel Kolesnikov, plus a new short orchestral piece by Adrian Sutton, composer for the National Theatre's production of War Horse.
This concert will be broadcast live on BBC Radio 3's Afternoon on 3.
