A nostalgic look at film music written by Ralph Vaughan Williams and Constant Lambert in the 1940s.
Sinfonia Antarctica stems from Vaughan Williams' score for the film Scott of the Antarctic in 1948 and in the same year Lambert, a great admirer of Russian culture, and a pupil of Vaughan Williams, composed the most beautiful film score to Anna Karenina.
What better way to complete a programme celebrating Hollywood in the mid-twentieth century than by a work written by a resident of Beverly Hills - Rachmaninov. His second piano concerto, known to us all from the film Brief Encounter, is enduring. Expect nostalgia and beautiful melodies.
