Programme Note
Beauty and cruelty in nature. Tuneful birds and deadly spiders. Soloist Eleanor Turner weaves a charming web in Patterson's Concerto for Harp and Strings. Respighi brings baroque imitations of bird song to today's chamber orchestra, and Rousell's ballet music gives insects very human emotions with a surprising twist (spoiler alert!). Mozart of course transcends all these earthly concerns.
