George Walker: Lyric for Strings

Take a few minutes to enjoy George Walker’s lush Lyric for Strings, conducted by Holly Mathieson. We made this recording in summer 2020, when the orchestra was allowed to meet again after the longest break in our 75-year history, and perform with social distancing and other Covid safety measures in place. You’ll find more music from these free Philharmonia Sessions, including a complete 45-minute family concert, an animated performance of Beethoven’s The Creatures of Prometheus, and an all-Dvořák programme featuring cellist Alisa Weilerstein, here:
