Two venerable British composers, both 80 this year, hear brand new pieces of theirs on this first Thursday of the Festival. Hugh Wood features in the BBC Singers’ concert later on; but here, the hugely distinguished members of the Nash Ensemble premiere a new work by Alexander Goehr for the combination that Brahms first wrote for in 1865 – horn, violin and piano.
