Synopsis
The third of four programmes in which journalist Simon Heffer makes a personal selection of music from the British Isles, including works by familiar composers as well as some attractive pieces by less well-known names.
This programme features part of George Lloyd's mammoth 4th Symphony, as well as songs by Finzi, Butterworth and Cecil Sharp, orchestral works by Walton, John Foulds, William Alwyn and Hamilton Harty, and ends with a movement of Gordon Jacob's wonderful trombone concerto.
