After last year’s sold-out matinée featuring well-loved and less-familiar works from both sides of the serious / light music divide, CBSO favourite John Wilson is back with another selection of great tunes to conjure up a spirit of nostalgia. From Vaughan Williams’ serene countryside portrait to Eric Coates’ splendid Dam Busters March, by way of Bax’s stirring take on the Arthurian legend and a delightful miniature by Birmingham tunesmith Albert W Ketèlbey, there is something for everyone with an interest in the best of British music.
