Concertgebouw at the Proms

Sinopsis

Holland's leading orchestra under its conductor Bernard Haitink can be seen in the first of two visits to the London Proms. The concert, recorded yesterday at the Royal Albert Hall, includes Mendelssohn Incidental music to A Midsummer Night's Dream and Dvorak Symphony No 9 (From the New World) 'The Midsummer Night's Dream music has many unknown pieces that are very beautiful, including that tiny march, looking forward all the way to Mahler.' (Bernard Haitink) Introduced by Cormac Rigby
