Conductor - Paul Daniel
Cello - Laura van der Heijden
Royal Philharmonic Orchestra

VAUGHAN WILLIAMS The Wasps Overture

WALTON Cello Concerto

HOLST A Song of the Night

ELGAR ‘Enigma’ Variations

Winner of BBC Young Musician 2012, dazzling cellist Laura van der Heijden performs Walton’s Cello Concerto – the piece with which she won the title, aged only 15. With its singing, complex cello part and rich orchestral writing, Walton’s Concerto is the perfect vehicle for Laura van der Heijden’s unique gifts. Framing Walton’s powerful music are gems by his fellow Englishmen: a witty overture from Vaughan Williams, the hauntingly beautiful A Song of the Night by Holst, featuring acclaimed violinist Clio Gould, and Elgar’s incomparable ‘Enigma’ Variations.
