The Ä¢¹½¶ÌÊÓÆµ Philharmonic, conducted by Principal Guest Conductor John Storgards, take us on a journey from Edwardian "London Town" to ancient Babylon. Elgar's Cockaigne Overture, a jovial portrait of the English capital starts an evening which ends with Walton's multi-coloured depiction of the wine, women and song which ultimately lead to the downfall of King Belshazzar, sung by David Soar. We stop off en-route in Denmark for a performance of Nielsen's engaging Violin Concerto played for us tonight by the superb Alina Pogostkina.
