BBC Proms 2002

on BBC Radio 3

Live from the Royal Albert Hall, London.
The Old Testament theme continues with excerpts from an opera centred on the dilemma of Saul, King of Israel. And two distinctly romantic works by Schumann and Sibelius frame Sibelius's spine-tingling tone-poem which depicts a sinister spirit gliding over the black waters of Tuonela, the Land of the Dead. Presented by Chris de Souza.
