Edward Elgar
When it comes to bringing the music of his compatriots Edward Elgar and Ralph Vaughan Williams to life, British conductor Andrew Manze is an acknowledged expert. And Elgar’s Cello Concerto is undoubtedly one of the most beautiful concertos ever written for the instrument. The soloist is Alban Gerhardt, returning to the Concertgebouw Orchestra fourteen years after his debut.
Vaughan Williams
The music of Ralph Vaughan Williams may be rarely heard in the Netherlands, but it is regular fare for the British. His Fantasia on a theme of the sixteenth-century English master Thomas Tallis is a brilliant work for double string orchestra, inspired by the cathedral of Gloucester, where it was first performed. Here in the Main Hall of The Concertgebouw, the piece’s spatial effects really have a chance to shine!
