From the Royal Albert Hall, London.
The National Youth Orchestra comes to the Proms in its 50th anniversary year with one of the foremost British conductors and three strongly nationalistic works. Tippett and Vaughan Williams have their roots in this country's folk consciousness, while Sibelius - a composer championed by Colin Davis - draws deeply from Finnish tradition.
