Mysticism, kings and kingsmanship underpin this all-English programme. The Old Testament drama of the Babylonian king and his fated downfall found its most powerful expression in Walton's monumental Belshazzar's Feast, commissioned for the 1931 Leeds Festival and notable for its huge orchestration. His Crown Imperial was written for the Coronation of George VI in the immediate aftermath of the abdication crisis. Vaughan Williams' Five Mystical Songs sets four poems by George Herbert from his 1633 collection The Temple: Sacred Poems. Featured soloist Njabulo Madlala is winner of the Kathleen Ferrier Award in 2010.
