Summary
Andrew Manze leads the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra at Liverpool Philharmonic Hall, featuring cellist Guy Johnston in Britten’s Cello Symphony alongside works by Shostakovich and Elgar.
Why it's fantastic
Most people recognise the soaring Nimrod theme, but hearing the full set of musical portraits allows you to solve the mystery for yourself. It is a substantial evening of English masterworks, balanced by a short, high-energy Russian overture that ensures the new season begins with a proper sense of occasion.
