Tippett's lyrical concerto continues his centenary celebrations. It's framed in this all-English programme by Vaughan Williams' tribute to Thomas Tallis and Holst's largest orchestral work, inspired by his fascination with astrology, and concluding with the missing planet added by Colin Matthews in 2000.
Presented by Paul Guinery, live from the Royal Albert Hall.
