BBC Proms 1996

on BBC Radio 3

Tonight's Prom brings together the "father of the symphony" with one of his most consistently inventive descendants. Haydn's Symphony No 76 in E flat is heard for the first time at the Proms and is contrasted with Bruckner's rugged and energetic sixth, conducted by the distinguished Bruckner interpreter Stanislaw Skrowaczewski.
