Broadcasts
New York-born Marin Alsop conducts a programme reflecting the substantial body of American works introduced at the Proms in the 1940s and 1950s. Barber's lushly romantic Violin Concerto is heard alongside Copland's iconic folk-influenced symphony, which helped to define the sound of American orchestral music.While Copland's symphony quotes his famous Fanfare for the Common Man, Beethoven's overture composed for his opera Fidelio also represents the struggle for freedom.

Schubert's sixth and last Mass is a majestic setting, made at the end of the composer's life. Susan Gritton leads a cast of outstanding British soloists.
