Mahler's 7th Symphony - Prom 65

Last Night of the Proms - Part 1

From the Royal Albert Hall, Alan Titchmarsh introduces the final concert of the Proms season. There's a Shakespearean theme with Dvorak's Overture Otello and Thomas Ades' Prelude to The Tempest, plus a rarely performed work by Elgar in his centenary year. Soprano Anna Netrebko and violinist Joshua Bell perform works by Rakmaninov, Ravel and Bellini. Jiri Belohlavek, chief conductor of the BBC Symphony Orchestra, conducts the Last Night for the first time.
