LSO Opening Night 2021: Rattle Conducts 100 Years Of British Music

Tradition is about the present, and the future, as well as the past. When Vaughan-Williams conceived his Pastoral Symphony, it wasn’t the misty fields of an imaginary England that inspired him. He was in France, on the Western Front of the First World War. Judith Weir reads ancient Taoist poetry, and finds ideas of radical simplicity. Maxwell Davies attends an all-night-party in his adopted home of Orkney. And because music never stands still, Rattle introduces the world premiere of two movements from a new choral work by Julian Anderson, inspired by the poetry of exile. Not what you might expect…
