BBC Proms 98

BBC One
on BBC One London

In the penultimate Prom recorded for BBC television, James Naughtie introduces another concert performance of the classical music used in films, performed at London's Royal Albert Hall on 10 August.

Tadaaki Otaka conducts the BBC National Orchestra of Wales in Paul Dukas's witty Sorcerer's Apprentice, created in Walt Disney's Fantasia. The mystic Zoroaster is explored in Richard Strauss's tone poem Also Sprach Zarathustra, and French tenor Jean-Paul Fouchecourt sings Szymanowski's exotic Songs of an Infatuated Muezzin.
The final concert in this sequence, broadcast on 17 August, will be shown next Thursday.
