Proms 75

on BBC Radio 3

direct from the Royal Albert Hall, London
Erich Gruenberg (violin) BBC Symphony Orchestra, leader Eli Goren, conducted by Sir Adrian Boult and David Atherton
Sir Lennox Berkeley says:
"This is the first of three Proms in which Sir Adrian Boult will conduct part of a concert, and it is an all-English programme in a way, thought the name Gerhard may be unfamiliar to some. Roberto Gerhard was born in Spain, but he settled in England in the 30s, and recent Prom seasons have helped to promote interest in his work. His music is distinguished by particularly brilliant and effective scoring".
