Angela Rippon introduces the St Thomas Wake:
Foxtrot for orchestra by Peter Maxwell Davies and talks to him about this entertaining and unusual piece, in which a jazz band rubs shoulders with a symphony orchestra and an Elizabethan Pavane is transformed by the sounds of 1920s dance music.
The programme begins with Alfred Brendel as soloist in a work equally original in its departure from tradition - Beethoven's
Piano Concerto No 4 in G. BBC Symphony Orchestra leader BELA DEKANY conducted by Sir Charles Groves
Sound GRAHAM HAINES Lighting BILL JONES
Producer RODNEY GREENBERG
(Part of the concert given on 9 August)
