  Prom 72: English Music

  Royal Albert Hall

  An evening of 20th-century English music that looks beyond pastoral stereotypes. The nostalgic idyll of Vaughan Williams’s Fantasia on ‘Greensleeves’ is soon abandoned for the brutality of his Symphony No. 4 and Birtwistle’s Exody – a terrifying musical labyrinth. Walton’s much-loved Viola Concerto is played here by rising star and ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Radio 3 New Generation Artist Lise Berthaud.
