Powerful Tippett, Beethoven and Mark Simpson with the BBC SO at the Barbican

Chris Garlick, 22nd April

On the day after the announcement of the programme for this year’s BBC Proms, the BBC Symphony Orchestra gave us yet another concert worthy of that great festival. Under the experienced baton of Martyn Brabbins they took three centuries of music in their stride and at the end of the concert I was left feeling that musical life in London would be so much less exciting without the BBC.
