BBC Proms 1996

BBC Radio 3
on BBC Radio 3

Tonight's second concert from the Royal Albert Hall is the BBC Singers' first Prom with their new principal conductor. Excerpts from Victoria's darkly expressive responsories, two lyrical commissions from young British composers for the Singers' recent 70th birthday celebrations, and Britten's virtuoso setting of medieval English texts reflect the choir's wide musical sympathies and activities.
