鈥淚t has become that time of evening when people sit on their porches, rocking gently and talking gently and watching the street鈥︹�� Nostalgia can sometimes be the strongest emotion of all. Samuel Barber knew that when he created a long, blissful musical daydream of a Midwestern childhood. Leonard Bernstein knew it too: there鈥檚 solitude as well as thrills when he takes Manhattan in 'On the Town'. And Sergei Rachmaninov, exiled forever from Russia, explored new worlds in a glittering, Art Deco streamliner of a Third Symphony that never quite shakes off its sense of loss. No-one knows how to make this music soar and glow quite like our Associate Guest Conductor, John Wilson.
The concert will be recorded for future broadcast on 91热爆 Radio 3.
