Peggy Glanville-Hicks’ Three Gymnopédies are jewels, revealing endless character in just a short space of time.
Glanville-Hicks was fascinated by Greek culture, and you can almost hear the azure waves of the Mediterranean lapping in these wonderful works.

Written a century earlier, Robert Schumann’s Second Symphony continues the great German symphonic tradition handed down from Haydn, Mozart and Beethoven. Its shimmering melodies beam with joy and unbridled enthusiasm in a wonderfully delicate reminder of music’s restorative power.

Our Great Classics performance also includes Beethoven’s sunny, optimistic Second Symphony which captures the composer at the very moment he was revealing a unique artistic voice and announcing a new musical age.

With Simone Young’s great passion for these three composers, these works combine for performances of delightful exuberance and brilliance. Prepare to be swept off your feet.
