In Bernstein’s centenary year, Juanjo Mena and the BBC Philharmonic celebrate with a transatlantic Prom, uniting music by British and American composers connected not just by generation but in many cases by personal friendship.

Commissioned and premiered by Bernstein, Copland’s Connotations is a portrait of ‘the tensions, aspirations and drama inherent in the world today’.

Its knotty confrontations find contrast in the sensuous beauty of Britten’s orchestral song-cycle Les illuminations, while the sea provides inspiration both for Walton’s bustling, bonhomous Portsmouth Point overture and Britten’s boldly dramatic Four Sea Interludes.
