大象传媒 Proms 2008:

Another chance to hear last Thursday's Prom, which for the first part features a nautical theme, as the 大象传媒 National Orchestra of Wales performs music by Welsh composer Grace Williams. A pupil of Vaughan Williams and a friend of Britten, her Sea Sketches catch the different moods of the Bristol Channel, as seen from her hometown of Barry.

Former Radio 3 New Generation Artist Christine Rice sings Elgar's ever-popular Sea Pictures, which is followed by Tchaikovsky's turbulent final symphony.
