In the second of its live concerts from this year’s Aldeburgh Festival, the Britten Sinfonia presents a programme inspired by the classics. Youthful Britten is marked by a radiant piece for piano and orchestra inspired by the image of Apollo and the same source provides the inspiration for one of Stravinsky’s most imaginative and finally honed ballet scores, Apollon musagète - Apollo, leader of the Muses. Also on the programme is one of John Woolrich’s best known pieces, Ulysses Awakes, a reworking of music by Monteverdi and mezzo-soprano Helen Charlston joining the orchestra for a performance of Britten’s cantata Phaedra. Presented by Martin Handley.
