Prom 2
Work:: Prom 2 (S561102604)
Production:: (T1437342726)
Maverick violinist Nigel Kennedy returns to the Proms - after an absence of 21 years ? for Elgar's Violin Concerto, the work that first put him on the musical map following his now-classic recording of it under tonight's conductor. With Vernon Handley in charge, this programme of British music is in good hands: few other conductors bring such a wealth of experience to the music of Bax -The Garden of Fand mines deep seams of late-Romanticism. And another Kennedy - Andrew (no relation, who appeared at the Proms as recently as last year's Last Night) - brings us Gerald Finzi's touching setting of Wordsworth, a study of the loss of childhood innocence. Finish time approx. 21:00
