The London Symphony Orchestra’s wind, brass and percussion celebrate the brilliant colours of folk-song arrangements by Vaughan Williams, Grainger and Arnold. They also perform Gunther Schuller’s eclectic trombone concerto Eine kleine Posaunenmusik, with its hints of jazz and daring technical demands. The LSO’s former Principal Trombone Peter Moore is the soloist.
