Two worlds collide in this fusion between western classical European tradition and American spirituals. The famous tune is heard in a variety of guises throughout the orchestra, but it is Price’s orchestration and textural variety which elevates the simple melancholy tune to new heights, sounding both familiar and historic at the same time. Composer: Florence Price Performer: BBC Symphony Orchestra Conductor: Michael Seal Recording date: 21 September 2018 Date of broadcast: 08 March 2019
