An introspective and epic look at 20th-century British music with the OFGC debut of maestro John Wilson. In the Violin Concerto, completed in the run-up to World War II, Benjamin Britten balances virtuoso display with intense expressiveness. The soloist is James Ehnes, again for the season. A march-like motif animates Edward Elgar's First Symphony, a vigorous 1908 work imbued with the spiritual climate of Victorian England.
