Vaughan Williams: Job

Inspired by William Blake's stylized engravings, Vaughan Williams responds to the metaphysical nature of the illustrations and paints movingly clear pictures of Heaven and Hell in 'Job', his "Masque for Dancing" though folk song and dance are never far away. Leonard Elschenbroich, a graduate of the ±«Óãtv New Generation Artist scheme, joins the orchestra for Prokofiev's Sinfonia Concertante and the programme opens with Lyadov's charming and colourful Eight Russian Folk Songs.
