  1. Partita for orchestra - Sir Richard Rodney Bennett
  2. Valses nobles et sentimentales - Maurice Ravel
  3. Porgy and Bess: A Symphonic Picture - George Gershwin, arranged by Robert Russell Bennett

John Wilson takes personal favourites by Gershwin, Ravel and Richard Rodney Bennett, and presents them in glorious sonic Technicolor.

Everyone knows that no-one – but no-one – conducts Gershwin with more verve and style than John Wilson. But today he gets even more personal, with joyous, multicoloured showpieces by two composers close to his heart: Ravel's Valses Nobles et Sentimentales, and Richard Rodney Bennett’s brilliant Partita.

For some, Rodney Bennett was the composer who did Four Weddings and a Funeral; for others, he was one of the finest jazz pianists of our time. But for Wilson, he was a friend, an inspiration, and ‘an absolute master’. This should be a treat.

Free to watch on Marquee TV for seven days (with registration); then available on demand via a subscription.
