Bridge Three Idylls for string orchestra
Vaughan Williams The Lark Ascending*
Bridge Cherry Ripe
Beethoven Symphony no. 3 'Eroica'
*Naomi Rump Violin
Tim Murray Conductor

Written within ten years of each other, these wonderful, lyrical works by Bridge and Vaughan Williams provide a snapshot of English music in the early 20th century. By contrast, we present one of the supreme creations of 19th-century music — the angst, struggle and ultimate triumph of Beethoven's Eroica Symphony.
