DYLAN THOMAS WEEKEND

As an introduction to this evening's concert, Paul Ferris , Dylan Thomas 's biographer, discusses the life of the poet and, in particular, four poems which inspired the composer John Corigliano 's choral symphony performed tonight. DYLAN THOMAS WEEKEND

Live from the Royal Festival Hall, London.
John Corigliano is one of America's leading composers, with a whole gamut of works to his credit. In this choral symphony he sets four poems by the Welsh poet
Dylan Thomas , who died in 1953 aged just 39 years: Fern Hill , Poem in October, Poem on His Birthdayand Author's Prologue. Corigliano says that Dylan Thomas 's poetry has been a constant companion throughout many years, and this Trilogy took 40 years to complete.
