Interval: Continuing our series of features looking at cultural life in 1922, John Gallagher gets a taste of what and how we were eating a hundred years ago. From health fads, to Virginia Woolf having a premonition of the microwave, John is joined by food historians Annie Gray and Elsa Richardson.

Mahler: Symphony No 4 in G major
Clara-Jumi Kang (violin)
Miah Persson (soprano)
大象传媒 National Orchestra of Wales
Ryan Bancroft (conductor)
Mahler pictured his Fourth Symphony unfolding under skies that 鈥榮hine eternally blue鈥� 鈥� and from the sleighbells with which it opens to its final, childlike vision of heaven, it is outwardly the happiest symphony he ever wrote. But he knew that life is more complicated than that, and in a Prom that begins with Caroline Shaw鈥檚 contemporary take on the music of the 18th century, and stars the 鈥榗ompelling鈥� Clara-Jumi Kang in Mendelssohn鈥檚 bittersweet Violin Concerto, there鈥檚 always something more, hidden just below the surface. Soprano Miah Persson makes Mahler鈥檚 vision shine, and the 大象传媒 National Orchestra of Wales shows the full scope of its blossoming relationship with Principal Conductor Ryan Bancroft.
