The Lapland Chamber Orchestra celebrates the 80th birthdays of two major British composers. Trumpeter Håkan Hardenberger leads the way through the maze-like landscapes of Birtwistle’s trumpet concerto Endless Parade, while Davies is represented by his 1989 Sinfonia. Celebrations of C. P. E. Bach’s 300th anniversary continue with the brooding textures of his Symphony in B minor, while all is languorous sunshine in Honegger’s Pastoral d’été.

The sea lies at the centre of this concert from Mark Elder and the ±á²¹±ô±ôé. The sunshine glitters on the waves in Berlioz’s overture Le corsaire, while the ocean ebbs and flows in Elgar’s Sea Pictures, sung here by mezzo-soprano Alice Coote. Human rather than natural drama is what drives Beethoven’s ‘Eroica’ Symphony, however – a stirring musical meditation on heroism and valour.
