AO3 | 20170310 | Katie Derham concludes her series of British music in a week also celebrating International Women's Day (Wednesday) with the BBC National Orchestra of Wales. Dobrinka Tabakova pays homage to Schubert and there's another chance to hear Lynne Plowman's Blue - which won the BBC NOW Young Composers Competition back in 1995. Bliss explores the associations of heraldic colours in his symphony, and Vaughan Williams adds the delicate sounds of a wordless chorus to orchestral strings in his brilliantly original viola concerto. Steve Martland and Graham Fitkin add energy and rhythmic brilliance from a recent concert series championing bold composers of recent years, "Great Brits". c.2pm Dobrinka Tabakova: Fantasy Homage to Schubert BBC NOW Clark Rundell, conductor c.2.10pm Martland: Crossing the Border Edwin Outwater, conductor c.2.40pm Graham Fitkin: Intimate Curve c.3pm Vaughan Williams: Flos Campi Lawrence Power, viola Martyn Brabbins, conductor c.3.25pm Bliss: A Colour Symphony Richard Hickox, conductor c.3.55pm Lynne Plowman: Blue |
