It was at a performance of Frank Bridge’s mighty orchestral suite that the young Britten was ‘knocked sideways’. Here it washes against Britten’s own seascapes animated on the big screen by a bold and persuasive video interpretation; Tal Rosner fuses together imagery from urban waterways, using the grit and grandeur of the great seafaring American cities to transpose music so synonymous with Suffolk’s shoreline from the local to the global.

Alice Coote follows her Festival recital with Mahler’s beguiling song cycle, and the serenity of Sibelius’ celebration of the water spirits stands as still water next to the churning currents of Helen Grime’s arresting Siegfried Sassoon-inspired music.

Tal Rosner’s Passacaglia is co-commissioned by Aldeburgh Music and the 91Èȱ¬ Symphony Orchestra.
