Gergely Madaras conductor • Paul Barritt violin
Hear a selection of pieces that have always featured prominently
in this orchestra’s repertoire – both Elgar and Vaughan Williams
entrusted the Hallé with symphonic premieres. We perform Elgar’s
Cockaigne Overture and Vaughan Williams’ Tallis Fantasia, as well as
a true icon of English music, The Lark Ascending, perfectly depicted
in the hands of the Hallé’s Permanent Guest Leader, Paul Barritt.
Laurence Olivier described his Oscar-winning film as ‘William’s
Henry V’ so central to its success was William Walton’s dazzling score.

“As soon as I read Christopher
Reid’s collection of children’s poems
Alphabicycle Order I wanted to set them to
music. These wonderful, short poems play on
words, ranging from the sinister (the menacing
Vumpire, a cross between an umpire and a
vampire) to the absurd (the Umbrellaphant,
half elephant, half umbrella!). We meet with
Cluckworth chickens, an Iciclist, the fabulous
Liarbird and the very superior Queen Bean.
I hope they’ll be fun to sing, shout,
play and speak.” Colin Matthews
