Synopsis

Album Description

What is it about british music that so profoundly stirs the soul? 'land of hope and glory', 'nimrod', and 'jupiter' from the planets are just three of many english classics that speak to peoples of all nations, simultaneously bringing a patriotic lump to the throat and - if their prominent use in advertising is anything to go by - inspiring consumers to purchase anything from luxury cars to rugby tickets. Put them together in a cd of the best of british orchestral and choral music and you have the next best thing to being there at the last night of the proms itself.
