Jonathan Swain presents Britten: Serenade for tenor, horn, strings. Martinu: Symphony No 6. Smetana: Vltava (Ma Vlast). Milhaud: La cheminee du Roi Rene. Plus music by Rachmaninov.
Presented by Jonathan Swain.
Performances by 成人快手 orchestras of music with the theme of displacement, featuring composers who left their native countries.
With music by Britten, who, unlike Rachmaninov and Martinu, left his home by choice, having objected to Britain's participation in the Second World War, and Milhaud, who was forced to flee Europe as the Nazis overran the continent. He never forgot his roots in rural southern France - as his suite for wind quintet La cheminee du roi Rene shows. But after the war he continued to live and teach in the USA for many years, enjoying travelling backwards between the two countries and cultures.
