Throughout, you’ll encounter gems from the Baroque, including Bach’s stately “Air on a G String” and the sparkling opening movement of Vivaldi’s Four Seasons. And there’s exquisite Mozart in the form of his effervescent Eine kleine Nachtmusik, the restless Symphony No. 40, and his final, tragic masterpiece, the Requiem. Elgar’s Pomp and Circumstance March No. 1, the overture to Rossini’s Barber of Seville, Sibelius’ Finlandia and Wagner’s The Ride of the Valkyries all feature in this captivating and impressively comprehensive collection.
It’s all brilliantly performed by the London Philharmonic Orchestra, which proves itself as one of the world’s finest and most versatile ensembles.
