Elgar Cockaigne Overture
Bruch Violin Concerto No.1
Holst The Planets Suite
Andrew Litton Conductor
Nicola Benedetti Violin
Passionate soloist Nicola Benedetti performs Bruch's phenomenally successful Violin Concerto No.1, which never fails to enchant performers with its rich melodies and sublime orchestration.
The Concerto is framed by two English masterworks – Elgar's romantic celebration of London and Holst's celebrated The Planets Suite, which embraces the martial, the magical and the mystical with its thundering war music of Mars and the rollicking Jupiter, which brought to us the patriotic song I Vow to Thee, My Country.
