Performance on 3 - 25/02/2008

Petroc Trelawny introduces a concert given by the BBC Concert Orchestra to celebrate the 60th birthday of Barry Wordsworth, their principal conductor for 17 years, and now conductor laureate. In Job, called a masque for dancing, Vaughan Williams draws together Elizabethan courtly dances and traditional country music in a powerfully dramatic score still rarely heard in concert; and in Astor Piazzolla's The Four Seasons of Buenos Aires, the rhythms of the nuevo tango meet the Italian Baroque of Vivaldi.
