BBC Proms 2002

Краткое содержание

Rolf Hind is the soloist in the first of this season's BBC commissions, David Sawer's Piano Concerto, which is preceded by Elgar's In the South. After the interval, Ravel's Sheherazade features the Proms debut of mezzo-soprano Frederica von Stade. This is followed by Leonard Slatkin conducting the BBC Symphony Orchestra in his own selection of excerpts from Igor Stravinsky's original ballet music for The Firebird. Charles Hazlewood and his guests discuss the evening's music, while Clare Louise Stuart hears the views of the Prommers' Panel.
