SERENADE
SERENADE
Friday 25th October , 7.30pm , Hall One
One century ago , a musician was born who did more to encapsulate the geographical and linguistic qualities of England than any other composer had managed before or has since . In his haunting Serenade for Tenor , Horn and Strings , Benjamin Britten set poetry by Blake , Tennyson and Cotton with a intensity , penetration and unity of atmosphere that hadn ’ t been heard before . We hear the Serenade here alongside the second of Mozart ’ s carefree ‘ Salzburg ’ Divertimenti and his frantic , eerie but compelling Symphony No . 40 .
With a post-concert ‘ Northern Sinfonia Spotlight ’
