MSO Mornings: Elgar’s Cello Concerto

Composed in the aftermath of the First World War, this extraordinary piece is at once emotionally reserved and overflowing in its lyrical expansiveness, and has become a cornerstone of 20th century music.

Grieg’s incidental music for Ibsen’s play Peer Gynt has become widely referenced across pop culture, and the Suite No.1 contains its most memorable melodies, including Morning Mood and In the Hall of the Mountain King.
