John Lubbock conductor
One of Britain’s genuine musical heroes, John Lubbock leads the Oxford Philharmonic Orchestra in a celebration of the genius of a composer with close links to the city and university, Joseph Haydn. Bookending the programme are the Austrian composer’s unremitting symphony on Christ’s passion and the celebratory work he conducted himself at the Sheldonian Theatre on receiving his honorary doctorate here, the ‘Oxford’ Symphony. Alongside the composer’s gleaming trumpet concerto, we hear John’s own arrangements of intriguing salutes to Haydn by composers from another time and territory: Debussy and Ravel.
