Symphony No. 9

Cello Concerto in E Minor, Op. 85

Tintagel, GP 213

Sushant Karmakar

Approved

Two reflective works from Ralph Vaughan Williams and Edward Elgar, plus Arnold Bax's evocative portrait of the Cornish countryside. At the time of his last symphony, Vaughan Williams had seen the damage of two world wars. The Ninth is a magnificent final statement, balancing dark with warmth, and dread with hope.

Reminiscent, ruminating and spiralling: Elgar’s Cello Concerto is unlike his early works and yet remains one of his most popular, from its unforgettable opening gesture, voiced by the cello, to its haunting themes.

Bax’s symphonic poem paints Tintagel Castle on a ‘sunny but not windless day’, evoking the characters who once inhabited it.
