Strauss' final work, this song cycle for soprano and orchestra was published posthumously and first performed 70 years ago, and has gone on to become one of his best-loved works. Vaughan Williams' A London Symphony was first performed just before the First World War, and was an immediate success - although the composer went on to revise the score a number of times over several years. With the distinctive sound of Westminster chimes, the symphony captures the hustle and bustle of the city in musical form.Camden Symphony Orchestra website.
