Michael Tippett Centenary
This week Performance on 3 and Lunchtime Concert (1pm Tuesday-Friday) celebrate the centenary this year of Michael Tippett 's birth.
Today Christopher Cook introduces an all-British concert from Symphony Hall in Birmingham, featuring Tippett's most famous and enduring work, A Child of Our Time, and Vaughan Williams 's Pastoral Symphony, both of which stem from wartime experiences and look beyond the horror to the possibility of a better world.
