Linton Stephens introduces highlights from this year's Ä¢¹½¶ÌÊÓÆµ Proms, including Strauss’ tone-poem Death and Transfiguration and music by John Adams from the Ä¢¹½¶ÌÊÓÆµ National Orchestra of Wales and Ryan Bancroft. Also, song inspired by The Swan of Avon and other bards, from Nicky Spence and Julius Drake at the Aldeburgh Festival.
