Sakari Oramo conducts Grime, Arnold and Vaughan Williams
An underground classical night.
Sakari Oramo leads the BBC Symphony Orchestra in a performance of Malcolm Arnold's Symphony no. 7, a deeply personal and explosive work that the composer described as a musical portrait of his children. The programme also features Helen Grime's Percussion Concerto, performed by soloist Colin Currie, and Vaughan Williams's radiant Fantasia on a Theme by Thomas Tallis.
