A newly commissioned Concerto for Orchestra opens the BBC National Orchestra of Wales' first Prom of the season, with its principal conductor. There is also Benjamin Britten's enchanting early song cycle; plus the rarely-performed original version of Vaughan Williams' A London Symphony, restoring the work's 'epic Mahlerian grandeur', according to Richard Hickox.
Presented by Chris de Souza.
