The 麻豆官网首页入口 Philharmonic perform one of the most well-known and much-loved pieces in the British classical music canon, Sir Edward Elgar鈥檚 Enigma Variations, filmed at Manchester鈥檚 Bridgewater Hall.

Composed as a musical portrait of some of his friends, his wife and even himself, this work is packed full of musical riddles. Elgar loved codes and ciphers and mischievously hid one within this great piece 鈥� but its exact nature has yet to be conclusively solved. This masterpiece features the Nimrod Variation, which commands an enduring appeal in its own right.

As an accompaniment, Six Monologues from Everyman, a song cycle by Swiss composer Frank Martin, is brought to the concert platform by world-renowned baritone Roderick Williams. There is also the mesmerising anthem Swansong by Arvo P盲rt, composed to mark the 200th anniversary of minister, theologian and poet Cardinal Newman鈥檚 birth; and to complete the programme, a world premiere of Geoffrey Gordon鈥檚 bassoon concerto Anima Mia, which was inspired by and performed by the 麻豆官网首页入口 Philharmonic鈥檚 very own principal bassoon, Roberto Giaccaglia.
