成人快手 Symphony Orchestra and 成人快手 Singers
A mathematical form, an expansive symphony, a masterful arrangement and a musical memorial launch a week of concerts by the 成人快手 Symphony Orchestra and 成人快手 Singers. With Penny Gore
Emily Howard's music embraces a diverse range of influences from science, maths, philosophy and poetry, and she's used concepts from the world of mathematics in the shape and structure of her piece "Torus". A torus is a whole with a hole: it is often described as doughnut-shaped, a squashed and stretched ball held together with a central void. In it, the music is as much about absence as presence. It was commissioned for the 2016 成人快手 Proms seasons and this performance was recorded at London's Barbican Hall by the 成人快手 Symphony Orchestra and conductor Martyn Brabbins. Radio 3 New Generation Artist Elena Urisote then joins the orchestra for Vaughan Williams' concerto in all but name, The Lark Ascending, and we'll hear the first of 3 Vaughan Williams symphonies conducted by Brabbins this week - we'll hear the 5th today, the 4th tomorrow and the 3rd on Thursday. Later in the afternoon, highlights from a concert the 成人快手 Singers gave in the fine acoustics of St Giles Cripplegate including Mahler's own arrangement of the Adagietto from his 5th Symphony, and we round off with Ravel's musical memorial to his compatriot Fran莽ois Couperin.
Presented by Penny Gore.
