Presented by Penny Gore
ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Proms 2008:
A Prom featuring Vaughan Williams's Flos Campi with a solo viola accompanied by orchestra and wordless chorus, prefaced by highly charged words from the Song of Solomon. It is a score that may have been a concealed declaration of love for Ursula Wood, who was to become the composer's second wife.
Well known for his advocacy of British music, Richard Hickox also directs Nigel Osborne's Flute Concerto in celebration of the composer's sixtieth birthday and with a Radio 3 New Generation Artist as soloist. Completing the programme are a Mozart Symphony and Beethoven's Mass in C. Introduced by Louise Fryer.
