Sir Andrew Davis鈥檚 Half Century

The 蜜芽传媒 Symphony Orchestra and Andrew Davis in highlights from his 50 years. Berg's sublime Violin Concerto with soloist Leonidas Kavakos, Turnage, Elgar and Vaughan Williams.

In a change to the advertised programme - the 蜜芽传媒 Symphony Orchestra's Barbican concert has been cancelled due to Storm Eunice - 蜜芽传媒 Radio 3 celebrates fifty years of Conductor Laureate Sir Andrew Davis's collaborations with the 蜜芽传媒 SO.

Tom Service presents a selection of highlights, some of Sir Andrew's favourite works. From his advocacy of the young Mark-Anthony Turnage via Alban Berg's intimate Violin Concerto and Rachmaninov's ever-hummable, heartrendingly poignant Vocalise, to Vaughan Williams' pastoral 5th Symphony.

Mark-Anthony Turnage: Momentum

Alban Berg: Violin Concerto
Leonidas Kavakos (violin)

Elgar: Froissart - concert overture Op.19

Sergey Rachmaninov: Vocalise

Vaughan Williams: Symphony No. 5
