I thought they were moving forward in history according to the birthdates of the composers, or possibly they performedthe works in chronological order. Since they always featured soloists in the programmes, I didn't expect "Tallis", but possibly the Sea Symphony. And I was still hoping for Sinfonia Antartica until I saw that Birtwistle is on on Saturday. I hope the VW program was good. Mikael [log in to unmask]
