Great British Classics at the Proms

Vaughan Williams’s The Lark Ascending, Elgar’s much-loved Nimrod, and Britten’s Four Sea Interludes in this musical celebration of landscapes and seascapes.

A musical celebration of landscapes and seascapes from the Royal Albert Hall performed by the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ National Orchestra of Wales.

From the soaring flight of Vaughan Williams’s The Lark Ascending, Elgar’s beloved Enigma Variations featuring Nimrod, Britten’s stormy Four Sea Interludes from Peter Grimes, and Walton’s Crown Imperial Coronation March to lesser known gems from some of Britain’s most illustrious composers, this is musical Britain at its very best.

Clive Myrie presents and is joined by special guests Alison Balson and Gyles Brandreth.
