Chris Garrick (violin) and the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Concert Orchestra conducted by Barry Wordsworth. Vaughan Williams: Job. Piazzolla: The Four Seasons of Buenos Aires. Ravel: La valse.
Petroc Trelawny introduces a concert given by the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Concert Orchestra to celebrate the 60th birthday of Barry Wordsworth, their principal conductor for 17 years, and now conductor laureate.
In Job, called a masque for dancing, Vaughan Williams draws together Elizabethan courtly dances and traditional country music in a powerfully dramatic score still rarely heard in concert; and in Astor Piazzolla's The Four Seasons of Buenos Aires, the rhythms of the nuevo tango meet the Italian Baroque of Vivaldi.
