あらすじ

Charles Hazlewood presents - and conducts - this live Prom featuring the BBC Concert Orchestra, while fellow presenter Suzy Klein is joined in the studio by choirmaster Gareth Malone. As well as Gershwin's An American in Paris and Strike Up the Band, Stravinsky's Ebony Concerto performed by clarinettist Michael Collins, and Bernstein's Prelude, Fugue and Riffs, there are three jazz-influenced world premieres: Jason Yarde's Rhythm and Other Fascinations and his arrangement of Gershwin's My Man's Gone Now, plus Gwilym Simcock's Progressions for piano and orchestra performed by the composer with Phil Donkin on double bass and Martin France on drums.
