Nagoya Sinfonia Orchestra

This 87th concert will feature beautiful works by three composers who contributed to the revival of English music. The Somerset Rhapsody is a dramatic work based on a charming folk song from Somerset, England by Holst, famous for his suite "The Planets," that immediately transports the listener to the English landscape. The variation "Enigma" by Elgar, one of the most beloved composers in England, is a thoughtful and loving piece that introduces the character and mood of his beloved wife and friends one after another, and the famous "Nimrod" is especially heartwarming for the beauty of his feelings for his best friend.
The Fifth Symphony, composed at the age of 71 by the great composer Vaughan Williams, who was also Holst's close friend, has a variety of expressions, including scenes of listening to the voice of nature in the hills of England, the dynamism of different intertwining rhythms, and a pious prayer for eternal peace. Don't miss this opportunity to enjoy the unique sound of English music!
