Omnibus at the Proms

An Evening with Maria Ewing The American soprano sings her favourite songs from American musical theatre and film, including those of George Gershwin , Cole Porter , Frank Loesser , Harold Arlen and Arthur Schwartz , with Richard Rodney Bennett (piano). Whether as an innocent yet corrupting Salome, or a determinedly individual Carmen, Maria Ewing has a formidable world-wide reputation. Tonight she takes a completely new step into popular song that promises a dazzling evening of sumptuous melody and smart lyrics. 'It's part of me, a part of my upbringing. The whole point of doing this concert is to show that we are as serious about this as we are about the classics.' With the BBC Concert Orchestra, led by Martin Loveday , conducted by Barry Wordsworth. Narrator: Christopher Cook.
