Jonathan Swain presents a concert given by the Halle Orchestra, which includes a world premiere of John McCabe's Cello Concerto, plus music by Richard Strauss and Rachmaninov.
Jonathan Swain introduces a concert given by Manchester's Halle Orchestra under Mark Elder. John McCabe is a composer who has had a long association with the Halle, and the concert includes the world premiere of his Cello Concerto, specially written for the soloist. McCabe is a modern-day romantic, and his concerto is complimented by two true romantic works: Strauss's opulent Don Juan, written when the composer was still in his mid-20s, and Rachmaninov's Symphonic Dances, written
while he was in exile in America.
