Harmonium: With Brighton Festival Chorus
Avril Coleridge-Taylor’s sensuously dark tone poem Sussex Landscape was composed soon after the outbreak of World War II in 1939. Following in her father Samuel’s footsteps, Avril was a composer, conductor and musical activist, living out her long life in Buxted. Joanna MacGregor plays Beethoven’s most lyrical, searching piano concerto, with its revolutionary opening and slow movement battle between soloist and orchestra – famously described as ‘Orpheus taming the Furies.’
