Turner Sims favourites, the London Mozart Players Chamber Ensemble are joined by special guests. They present two defining 20th century works.
Vaughan Williams’s early masterpiece sets the words of A E Housman. Composed in 1909, ‘On Wenlock Edge’ provides an eerie foreshadowing to the many men lost in the Great War. Tenor Mark Le Brocq, who appeared with Welsh National Opera in its highly successful production of Britten’s ‘Death in Venice’, brings his unique perspective.
Pianist Anna Tilbrook joins the LMP for a work which writer Gerard McBurney described as ‘a chamber-music classic of the 20th century’. Shostakovich’s work proved immediately popular with the public when it was first performed in September 1940. It also won Shostakovich his first Stalin Prize, the highest decoration given at the time to the country’s most elite artists.
