Prom 41 - Purcell, Britten
A Prom in which Mark Wigglesworth conducts the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ SO and soloists. Purcell, arr Talbot: Chacony in G minor. Britten: Cantata Misericordium; Sinfonia da Requiem; Spring Symphony.
With Louise Fryer
Mark Wigglesworth conducts a recreation of an all-Britten concert originally conducted in 1963 by the composer, but with a contemporary twist provided by Joby Talbot, revisiting Britten's great hero Purcell. For Britten, the Spring Symphony represented 'the reawakening of the earth and life', while the Cantata Misericordium tells the Biblical story of the Good Samaritan.
