The Strings of the 成人快手 Symphony Orchestra

Martyn Brabbins conducts life-affirming music by Sally Beamish, Carmen Ho and Vaughan Williams, including his Four Hymns, with tenor Alessandro Fisher and violist Timothy Ridout.

The lush sounds of Vaughan Williams's folk-song settings of Five variants of Dives and Lazarus for strings and harp contrast with the comforting balm of a Shetland fiddle tune offered to a grieving mother in Sally Beamish's The Day Dawn. Plus a new work by Carmen Ho which explores rustling, whispering and sound masses. The 成人快手 Symphony Orchestra Strings are joined by 成人快手 Radio 3 New Generation Artists tenor Alessandro Fisher and violist Timothy Ridout for Vaughan Williams's Four Hymns of 1914, a work of ravishing ecstasy and contemplation which sets poems by Jeremy Taylor, Isaac Watts, Richard Crashaw and Robert Bridges.
