A sumptuous concert of English masterworks, with Elgar’s evocative Sea Pictures performed by mezzo-soprano Sarah Connolly, a singer internationally celebrated for her exceptional musicality and expressive voice. The concert opens with Elgar’s charming Cockaigne Overture, which paints a vivid picture of a day in London and culminates in Walton’s magnificent Belshazzar’s Feast. For this masterpiece, composed on a grand scale, the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra is joined by The Bach Choir and the outstanding bass-baritone Neal Davies.
