Programme Note
Martin Henderson returns to the podium to conduct:
Elgar's tone poem In The South. Conceived while the Elgars were holidaying in Italy in 1903 to 1904, the overture’s moods rather reflect those of the composer at the time—fluctuating from morose to excitable and stoic to playful
Mozart's Bassoon Concerto K191 is the first of his woodwind concertos and although written when he was only 18 is a 'little masterpiece'.
Anton Bruckner's Symphony No 4, given the title the Romantic Symphony on account of its ambitious scope and grand emotional gestures was the first of Bruckner’s symphonies to achieve significant public success, and it remains among his most frequently performed works.
