Vaughan Williams: Tallis Fantasia.
Wagner Wesendonck Lieder
Mahler ‘Blumine’ Movement
Respighi The Birds
Conductor: Philip Ellis
Soprano soloist: Janice Watson
Janice Watson, one of the world's leading sopranos, joins Surrey Mozart Players for Wagner's achingly beautiful songs set to words by Mathilde Wesendonck, with whom Wagner had a passionate but unconsumated relationship.
Vaughan Williams's justifiably famous Tallis Fantasia opens the concert. Mahler's Blumine movement, originally written for his first symphony, and Respighi's charming suite, The Birds, complete this not to be missed concert.
