We start in Brazil, with Lambert’s kaleidoscopic 1927 evocation of a bustling river scene, and a popular concerto by living Brazilian percussionist Ney Rosauro. Then to the charming song-cycle by Spaniard Joaquin Rodrigo, and finally the ever-popular Nelson Mass by Haydn, with its stern Kyrie, joyful Gloria and exciting solo writing. Three final year pupils are the soloists in the two centre pieces.
