Summary
John Storgårds conducts the BBC Philharmonic in a programme of Vaughan Williams, Cassandra Miller and Walton’s First Symphony at The Bridgewater Hall.
Why it's fantastic
The evening opens with a timeless string arrangement that captures the ancient, echoing stillness of a cathedral. It builds towards Walton’s first symphony, a work famous for its sheer physical energy and a finale that leaves you feeling the floorboards vibrate long after the final chord fades.
