About This Event

Shocking the audience at its 1935 premiere, the surface violence of Vaughan Williams鈥檚 Fourth Symphony conceals the composer鈥檚 most classical symphony 鈥� a work whose greatest debt is to Beethoven. The symphony鈥檚 knotty, introspective drama draws on the composer鈥檚 wartime experiences in the Medical Corps, and WWI is also the starting point for Cheryl Frances-Hoad鈥檚 Last Man Standing. This song-cycle, premiered here by baritone Marcus Farnsworth, sets a new text by Tamsin Collison inspired by WW1 texts and personal testimonies. Bax鈥檚 turbulent, 1917 tone-poem November Woods completes the programme.
