Chandos: Four Last Songs
12th November 2017
Event Navigation
Butterworth A Shropshire Lad
R Strauss Four Last Songs
Elgar/Payne Symphony No 3
Michael Lloyd conductor
Alison Roddy soprano
An air of nostalgia pervades this programme: Butterworth’s lovely Rhapsody with its tangible sense of yearning for an England gone by; the emotional depths of Strauss’s heart-achingly beautiful Four Last Songs; and the old-order resistance to changing world events in Elgar’s writing, so illuminatingly brought to life by Anthony Payne in 1997.
We are joined by international opera & concert soprano, Alison Roddy, whose career has taken her around the world’s top opera houses including her spell as principal at ENO. Concert appearances have ranged from Birmingham’s Symphony Hall to 10 Downing Street.
