Another chance to hear last Sunday's Prom, which featured an all-British programme from an American conductor who has made this music his own. Following the Proms theme of late and last works, Vaughan Williams's final symphony is the astonishing product of his mid-80s and Britten's song-cycle is a masterpiece of pared-down late style.
