”A wide experience of human life with a great charity (love) and a massive hope in the future” – that’s how Elgar described his First Symphony, but it doesn’t begin to cover the glorious colours and sheer emotional range of this masterpiece of British music. Today, Nicholas Collon pairs it with Sibelius’ violin concerto (Augustin Hadelich is the soloist) and a playful, poetic mini-masterpiece from the extraordinary imagination of Betsy Jolas – who turns 99 this year.
