Yan Pascal Tortelier opens the programme with Anthony Payne's 'Visions and Journeys', a piece inspired by the ocean swell around the Isles of Scilly and also by the fascinating journeys he undertook to get to the islands for holidays. Written on the island of Ischia, Walton's Cello Concerto, for which Leonard Elschenbroich joins the orchestra, is full of warmth and colour. Roussel's quirky and humorous Suite in F commissioned by Serge Koussevitsky, has has an immediate appeal and the concert ends with a suite from Bizet's opera Carmen.
