It was at a performance of Frank Bridge鈥檚 mighty orchestral suite that the young Britten was 鈥榢nocked sideways鈥�. Here it washes against Britten鈥檚 own seascapes animated on the big screen by a bold and persuasive video interpretation; Tal Rosner fuses together imagery from urban waterways, using the grit and grandeur of the great seafaring American cities to transpose music so synonymous with Suffolk鈥檚 shoreline from the local to the global.

Alice Coote follows her Festival recital with Mahler鈥檚 beguiling song cycle, and the serenity of Sibelius鈥� celebration of the water spirits stands as still water next to the churning currents of Helen Grime鈥檚 arresting Siegfried Sassoon-inspired music.

Tal Rosner鈥檚 Passacaglia is co-commissioned by Aldeburgh Music and the 成人快手 Symphony Orchestra.
