Welcome
The London Symphony Orchestra remains one of the world’s greatest ensembles, and so it’s always a thrill to be able to welcome them back to Bristol Beacon. Their first visit this season offers an early feast, with Thea Musgrave’s electrifying Phoenix Rising served alongside tantalising helpings of Walton and Vaughan Williams. With Sir Antonio Pappano on the podium and Antoine Tamestit playing the Walton, it’s sure to be a memorable concert and we hope you enjoy it.
While we don’t want to wish the evening away, we can’t help but look ahead to the LSO’s next visit to us (on Wednesday 22 April), when they will be joined by the acclaimed London Symphony Chorus. Anyone who has been to see Nicholas Hytner and Alan Bennett’s new film The Choral will know that Elgar’s sumptuous The Dream of Gerontius has something of a starring role, and we are so looking forward to it being brought to vivid life here in the hall next year. We hope you’ll join us.
From all of us at Bristol Beacon, we would like to thank you for supporting our orchestral series. We wish you a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, and we hope to see you for more wonderful concerts in 2026!
With best wishes,
Simon Wales
Chief Executive, Bristol Beacon

Thea Musgrave (b. 1928): Phoenix Rising
In the mid-1960s Musgrave’s approach to orchestral writing evolved into what she termed ‘dramatic-abstract’. By ‘dramatic’ she did not mean storytelling in a conventional sense, but the depiction of confrontations between instruments or sections of the orchestra. As Musgrave wrote, ‘I used certain ideas that are dramatic ones, either in the way the performers are seated, or in the way certain players can take over and become almost like characters in a drama.’ Phoenix Rising (1997), composed some three decades later, is a brilliantly crafted example of this ‘dramatic-abstract’ style, quasi-cinematic in its scope. It opens in a bleak landscape, dominated by timpani – the aggressive overlord of the opening passages. A solo horn takes on a heroic role, rallying its comrades, and ushering in the possibility of regeneration, symbolised by the rising of the phoenix. The musical language itself is transformed from jagged dissonance to uninhibited passion, before finally concluding in a shimmering coda.
The opening section (subtitled ‘Dramatic, violent’) introduces the timpani, which seems bent on controlling the musical texture. It noisily interrupts themes from elsewhere in the orchestra, and engenders a frenetic, convulsive atmosphere. As the music eventually begins to subside, a piccolo and solo violin lead the orchestra into the following section, marked ‘Desolate’. A cor anglais – so often symbolising loneliness in orchestral works – plays a melancholy solo. A solo horn sounds (initially offstage) yet is almost instantly confronted by the timpani. The horn then arrives onstage, and gears up for the following section, appropriately titled ‘Aggressive’. Horn and timpani not only lock horns in this passage but attempt to recruit their instrumental colleagues to join the fight, while the rest of the ensemble provides heated commentary on the proceedings. Eventually, as Musgrave puts it, ‘the solo horn prevails’, and the timpanist storms off.
At this point, marked ‘mysterious’ in the score, the phoenix rises and quells the storm with delicate, hushed scoring for harp and pitched percussion. The following passage, described as ‘peaceful’, conjures up a completely different world, with warm solos from the horn and lushly scored strings. The mood is not, however, entirely calm: a turbulent build to a passionate climax emphasises how hard-won such peace can be. Yet the ‘floating and luminous’ coda finally establishes the longed-for serenity, magically orchestrated for solo violin, harp and silvery cascades of percussion. The timpani is heard faintly off-stage, reminding the ensemble of its savage regime – but also of its defeat.

William Walton (1902-1983): Viola Concerto
1. Andante comodo
2. Scherzo and trio
3. Finale – allegro moderato
In 1928, the conductor Sir Thomas Beecham suggested to the 26-year-old William Walton that he write a work for the virtuoso violist Lionel Tertis (who later invented the rich-toned ‘Tertis Viola’). Walton was intrigued, largely due to his liking for Berlioz’s Harold in Italy, a viola concerto in all but name. He also felt the new work might offer him the chance to escape the reputation as a modernist enfant terrible he had acquired through such pieces as the witty ‘musical entertainment’ Façade (1923) and the jazzy overture Portsmouth Point (1926). He composed the concerto during the winter of 1928/9 while staying with his friends the Sitwells on the Amalfi coast. On his return to England in the spring of 1929 he sent it to Tertis – who promptly, and ironically, rejected it as ‘too modern’.
An upset Walton toyed with the idea of re-writing the piece for violin. However, BBC music producer Edward Clark suggested he send it to the violist and composer Paul Hindemith (whose Kammermusik No. 5 for viola and chamber orchestra, Walton later admitted, had inspired his own piece). Hindemith liked the work and gave its premiere on 3 October 1929 at the Queen’s Hall in London, with the Henry Wood Symphony Orchestra conducted by the composer.
Walton’s Viola Concerto comprises a pensive opening movement, a rapid scherzo (a playful, short movement – scherzo literally means ‘jest’ in Italian) and a large-scale, complex finale. The Andante comodo is in a compressed sonata form. The first theme (‘the first subject’) is a yearning melody passed between the viola and the oboe. For the calmer second theme (‘the second subject’), the viola is accompanied by pizzicato (plucked) strings. The mercurial middle (development) section includes two dramatic orchestral outbursts, a brief tango-like episode and a short cadenza-like passage for viola with tremolo (extremely rapid) string accompaniment. In the final section (the recapitulation, which returns to material from the opening section) the viola’s flowing triplets accompany the orchestral melody.
The short Vivo, con molto preciso is by contrast lively, characterised by dance-like syncopated rhythms and dramatic fluctuations in dynamics and textures. Noisy full-orchestral passages alternate with lightly accompanied, virtuosic viola solos featuring copious double-stopping (two notes played simultaneously). The concluding bars are delightfully playful.
The ambitious finale opens with a cheeky theme introduced in the bassoon, reminiscent of the ironic mood of Façade. The second theme could not be more different: a tender dialogue between viola and woodwind with (in the 1962 version) harp accompaniment, it recalls Walton’s beloved Elgar at his most lyrical. The two themes’ ensuing struggle for supremacy culminates in a massive orchestral interlude that includes a fugue (a form of counterpoint in which a theme is introduced by one group of instruments and then passed among others, with increasingly complex accompaniment). The viola’s re-entrance recalls music from the concerto’s opening and leads into a dreamy final section that Walton’s biographer Michael Kennedy believed was ‘the single most beautiful passage in all his music, sensuous yet full of uncertainty’.
The premiere of the Viola Concerto met with much acclaim, and established Walton’s reputation as a leading British composer. Lionel Tertis admitted he had misjudged the work, and from 1930 performed it many times. However, Walton himself was not wholly satisfied. In 1961 he revised it, creating a more intimate scoring, adding a harp, reducing the triple winds to double, and cutting the tuba and one of the trumpets. It is this version – which received its premiere in 1962 and is now considered definitive – that will be performed tonight.

Ralph Vaughan Williams (1872-1958): A London Symphony (Symphony No. 2)
1. Lento – Allegro risoluto
2. Lento
3. Scherzo (Nocturne): Allegro vivace
4. Andante con moto – Epilogue: Andante sostenuto
Despite the breakthrough success of his choral Sea Symphony in 1910, Vaughan Williams still held back from writing a purely orchestral symphony. But his friend and fellow composer George Butterworth urged him on, until the idea came to him of taking some sketches he’d made for a symphonic poem about London and reworking them into a highly unusual four-movement symphony. Once the idea had taken root it took shape quickly, and by 1913 the score was finished.
Vaughan Williams wasn’t an out-and-out Mahler fan, and yet the conception of his London Symphony is actually very Mahlerian: for Mahler a symphony had to ‘be like the world. It must embrace everything!’ Vaughan Williams presents a wonderfully vibrant collage of sounds and impressions – street-vendors’ cries, tavern music, the kaleidoscopic bustle of busy streets and, framing it all, the eternal ebb and flow of the city’s great river. At the same time, it’s a triumph of symphonic engineering, or rather it is in the familiar revised version of 1933, which Vaughan Williams regarded as definitive. What we’re listening to here isn’t simply an illustrative tone-poem; there’s a current, like that of the River Thames itself, which not only carries the ideas forward, but also challenges us to seek out deeper meanings.
When it came to explain what his music was ‘about’, Vaughan Williams was famously evasive, but he did compare the symphony’s ending and that of H.G. Wells’ novel Tono-Bungay: ‘The river passes – London passes, England passes…’ What Vaughan Williams doesn’t tell us is that the novel’s hero is sailing away in a destroyer, and that his last look back at the Imperial capital is dark-edged. Tono-Bungay contains a grim depiction of a hunger march, and the increasingly tragic march in the London Symphony is surely Vaughan Williams’s response to that. London here stands for life itself, in all its glory, but also in its pain and sadness.
A proverbial London fog lies over the Thames at the symphony’s opening, through which the muffled chimes of Big Ben can be heard. Then the city bursts into life, harshly at first, but with growing tenderness towards its heart, and culminating in a great shout of joy. Vaughan Williams described the moody second movement as ‘Bloomsbury Square on a November afternoon’; in this ‘pastoral of grey skies’ a lavender-seller’s cry can be heard on viola – a hauntingly lonely, fragile voice. Westminster Embankment at night ‘with its crowded streets and flaring lights’ is the scene for the nocturnal Scherzo, bustling at first, but hushed and troubled towards its end. Then the finale begins its tragic procession, climaxing in a great shout of grief and rage; but then comes stillness, Big Ben chimes again, and night descends as the river’s current carries the listener steadily away.

Highlights of the 2025/26 season and beyond include return visits to the Chamber Orchestra of Europe, the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra, the Czech Philharmonic, and guest appearances with the Swedish Radio Symphony and the Orchestra of the Royal Danish Opera, and he continues the acclaimed new Ring Cycle at the Royal Opera with a new production of Siegfried. In his second season as Chief Conductor of the London Symphony, Pappano takes the orchestra on wide-ranging tours to major European capitals and festivals, and a residency in Hanoi, Vietnam, as well as concerts at London’s Barbican Centre with concertante performances of Wagner’s Tristan und Isolde, and symphonic repertoire from Bernstein, Britten and Copland, to Macmillan, Musgrave, Mahler, and further recordings of Vaughan Williams and Elgar for LSO Live.
Pappano has been an exclusive recording artist for Warner Classics (formerly EMI Classics) since 1995, and his discography features numerous complete operas, including Don Carlo, La Rondine, Guillaume Tell, Il Trittico, Werther, Il Trovatore, Tristan und Isolde, and Aida. 2022 saw the release on Sony Classical of Verdi’s Otello, and a disc of Verdi duets with Jonas Kaufmann and Ludovic Tezier, and Vaughan William’s 4th and 6th symphonies for LSO Live, and in 2023 Warner released the first studio recording of Puccini’s Turandot with the complete conclusion by Alfano, recorded in Rome with Accademia Nazionale di Santa Cecilia.
Pappano’s orchestral recordings with the Accademia Nazionale di Santa Cecilia include Strauss’s Ein Heldenleben, Rachmaninov’s 2nd, Mahler’s 6th, Dvořák’s 9th and Tchaikovsky’s 4th, 5th and 6th symphonies, Respighi’s Roman Trilogy, Rossini’s Stabat Mater, Petite Messe Solenelle and selected Overtures, Britten’s War Requiem, and Verdi’s Requiem, and his discography also documents his work with other ensembles including the London Symphony and Berlin Philharmonic Orchestras, and the orchestras of the Royal Opera House and the Théâtre Royal de la Monnaie, in music ranging from Pergolesi and Mendelssohn through to Panufnik, Boesmans and Maxwell Davies. Numerous productions from the Royal Opera House have been released on DVD, including Carmen, Les Troyens, Parsifal, Simon Boccanegra, Le nozze di Figaro, and Manon Lescaut. His recordings have received extensive accolades including Classic BRIT, ECHO Klassik, BBC Music Magazine and Gramophone Awards.
As a pianist, Antonio Pappano appears as an accompanist with some of the most celebrated singers, including Joyce DiDonato, Diana Damrau, Gerald Finley and Ian Bostridge. He has also partnered singers and instrumental soloists on disc, including in operatic recitals with Nina Stemme, Plácido Domingo, Anna Netrebko and Jonas Kaufmann, concerto recordings with soloists including Leif Ove Andsnes, Maxim Vengerov, Janine Jansen, Jan Lisiecki and Beatrice Rana, and chamber recitals with Ian Bostridge, Barbara Bonney and Joyce DiDonato. He has a strong commitment to nurturing young singers and instrumentalists, close connections with the Aldeburgh and Verbier Festivals, leading concerts and masterclasses.
Antonio Pappano was born in London to Italian parents and moved with his family to the United States at the age of 13. He studied piano with Norma Verrilli, composition with Arnold Franchetti and conducting with Gustav Meier. His awards and honours include Gramophone’s ‘Artist of the Year’ in 2000, the 2003 Olivier Award for Outstanding Achievement in Opera, the 2004 Royal Philharmonic Society Music Award, and the Bruno Walter prize from the Académie du Disque Lyrique in Paris. In 2012 he was created a Cavaliere di Gran Croce of the Republic of Italy, and a Knight of the British Empire for his services to music, and in 2015 he was named the 100th recipient of the Royal Philharmonic Society’s Gold Medal, the body’s highest honour.
