6. Academy Concert: VLADIMIR JUROWSKI

Ralph Vaughan Williams 
Fantasy on a theme by Thomas Tallis

Robert Schumann 
Piano Concerto in A minor op. 54

Gustav Mahler 
Symphony No. 4 G major

German High and Late Romanticism is the focus of the 6th Academy Concert conducted by Vladimir Jurowski. Robert Schumann's Piano Concerto and Gustav Mahlers' Third Symphony are summit works of their genres and have not been heard in the National Theatre for some time. The evening opens with an English rarity rarely heard on the continent, Ralph Vaughan Williams' Fantasy on Themes by Thomas Tallis: a precious piece that blends memory and the present in an enchanting way.
