Programme BRITTEN | Peter Grimes: Four Sea Interludes ELGAR | Cello Concerto SHOSTAKOVICH | Symphony no. 9 For English composers, the landscape is a constant inspiration. Britten evoked the sea in all its moods, and you can almost taste the salt. Elgar retreated to the countryside, and wrote a Cello Concerto filled with the poetry of autumn – the superb Jan Vogler is its interpreter today. Finally, there’s a complete change of scene, as Jaap van Zweden conducts Shostakovich’s witty (but surprisingly powerful) Ninth Symphony. The concert runs approximately 1 hour and 45 minutes with an intermission. Artists Jaap van Zweden SBS, conductor Jan Vogler, cello
