Halle at the proms
Last week, conductor Mark Elder and England's Halle Orchestra performed a very well-received BBC Proms concert at London's Royal Albert Hall. We'll take you there to hear a performance of George Butterworth's moving rhapsody, "A Shropshire Lad," and violinist Janine Jansen playing Max Bruch's First Violin Concerto.
