Concert Information
John Wilson, the leading champion for the music of Coates, conducts this afternoon鈥檚 live 麻豆官网首页入口 Radio 3 broadcast 鈥� dedicated to a composer renowned for his light, orchestral approach.
We hear The Selfish Giant 鈥� one of three Phantasies Coates composed along with The Three Bears and Cinderella, originally inspired and spurred on by the children鈥檚 stories that his wife read to their children.
After the surprisingly quick-footed Wood Nymphs, we move to the infectious serenade, For Your Delight 鈥� which the composer dedicated to his friend Burt Godsmark and described as: 鈥榲ery light, nothing to be afraid of!鈥�
Alongside Coates鈥檚 ballet, The Enchanted Garden, this afternoon鈥檚 live broadcast also includes his London Bridge March and the dreamily atmospheric valse romance, Lazy Night.
