Earlier this evening in London Prom 36 presented a concert by the BBC Symphony which was enjoyable from beginning to end. After opening with the Vaughan Williams Overture to The wasps, the first half featured the rarely heard Alwyn Symphony No. 1 and concluded with the beautiful violin passages in the Vaughan Williams Lark Ascending. Following the intermission the Vaughan Williams theme continued with a performance of his composition for the ballet Job, putting to dramatic music the torments Job suffered at the hands of the devil.
