Handel Water Music Suite
Haydn Symphony No 104 D Major London
Vaughan Williams
Symphony No 2 G Major A London Symphony

The BMCO celebrates the nation's capital with a delightfully rewarding programme, imaginatively realised and played with panache: Handel's eloquent Water Music Suite, composed for a River Thames entertainment for King George I in 1717; Haydn's glorious and acclaimed symphonic testament, No 104, with its mingled grandeur and earthy vigour, argumentative power and visionary poetry, written in 1795 whilst the composer was staying in the capital; and Vaughan Williams' searching, hauntingly evocative London Symphony, a series of pithy portraits of London life.

'[An] inspirational performance [with] no weak moments. The inspirational conductor, William Goodchild, brought vitality and warmth to this remarkable concert.'
