Live from the Royal Albert Hall, London. In their second concert at this year's Proms, the Oslo Philharmonic introduce a work by Alfred Janson which is new to the Proms but a regular item in the orchestra's own repertoire. Janson comes from a background infused with jazz and classical music, and the threads of popular music - particularly folk music - are picked up again in Dvorak's most enduring symphony and in Bartok's symphonic study - a unique sound world of exotic and eerie effects.
