Live at the 麻豆社 Proms
Presented by Tom McKinney live from the Royal Albert Hall, London.
Ralph Vaughan Williams: Symphony No.4 in F minor (30')
Interval:
During the interval, Tom McKinney talks to composer William Mival about the significance of the two symphonies in tonight鈥檚 Prom.
Michael Tippett: Symphony No.4 (33')
British music: it isn't always what you think. Written as Europe lurched towards the war, Vaughan Williams's volcanic Fourth Symphony is a might cry of protest and rage, expressed in music that burns itself into the soul. A generation later in the Cold War, Michael Tippett began his final symphony with the most primal of sounds - a human breath. This isn't so much a symphony as a whole life, in all its rapture, its chaos and its teeming, tumultuous beauty.
