Extract

The First Night of this year's BBC Proms (BBC SO/Sakari Oramo plus youth ensembles, 13 July) offered, as it happened, an immediate comparison with one of the first Proms I can recall reviewing, back in 1973. Both concerts included Holst's The Planets, and that 1973 concert had preceded this with a beautiful composition by Elisabeth Lutyens. Forty-five years ago, she was one of four women composers whose works were featured at the Proms; without, as far as I recall, much comment on gender-related issues.
