About Aurora

Aurora is an orchestral tone poem by William Lloyd Webber which is acknowledged to be among the composer's finest works. Written in 1948 and performed once by a BBC orchestra conducted by Alexander Gibson it subsequently lay unperformed for many years. When a modern recording was issued in 1986 Edward Greenfield described the work as "...skillfully and sumptuously scored, its music as sensuous as any you will find from a British composer, it is not just a classically-inspired portrait of a Greek goddess but rather a surgingly emotional fantasy."
