The best of Vaughan Williams

The best of Vaughan Williams

Prom 17 is a very English affair – Vaughan Williams, Holst and, to celebrate his centenary, Hubert Parry. But it’s to Vaughan Williams that we turn today, with a playlist of a selection of his orchestral, chamber, choral and song masterpieces. Wallow in the Fantasia on a theme of Thomas Tallis, be transported by the Mass in G minor and be utterly roused by the final movement of the Five Mystical Songs – with much more to enjoy, too…

What’s on at the Proms tonight?
