BRITISH LIGHTS

For Haydn, London was the place where he cheerfully churned out nine great symphonies, and the sparks really flew. Scotland gave Mendelssohn mist and suggestive shades of color, as well as pride, energy and rhythm. In MacMillan’s short piece One, there’s delight in Scottish sweetness, grace and elegance.
