An Italian aroma infuses the English music in the first part of tonight's programme; Elgar's 'Alassio' was written while he was on holiday on the Italian Riviera, inspired by its landscape. Tasmin Little joins the orchestra for Walton's Violin Concerto, a piece he began in Ravello and which breathes Italian warmth through its long melodic lines and whiff of popular song. A return north to the cooler climes of the English Channel ends the programme after we've enjoyed a steamy visit to Spain for orchestral music from Bizet's red-blooded opera, Carmen.
