Peggy Glanville-Hicks (1912-1990): Concerto Romantico (1956)
Percy Grainger: Harvest Hymn (1905-32)
Percy Grainger: Handel in the Strand (1911)
A gorgeous afternoon of rich string textures from Sutherland, Sculthorpe (his deeply moving Irkanda IV) and Glanville-Hicks, surrounding two ‘greatest hits’: Elena Kats-Chernin’s winsome Wild Swans Suite and Grainger’s outwardly breezy (but fiendishly difficult) riff on The Harmonious Blacksmith, Handel in the Strand. All delivered by definitive performers.
