BBC Proms 2007

on BBC Radio 3

LIVE Alexandra Wiison presents the annual Prom given by the National Youth Orchestra of Great Britain, live from the Royai Albert Hall. The concert opens with a wild orchestral showpiece, demonstrating the sheer technical brilliance of the young players. And to end, Shostakovich's epic symphony tests their collective musical stamina.
Alexander Kobrin (piano), National Youth Orchestra of Great Britain, conductor Mark Elder
Aaron Jay Kemis New Era Dance (first UK performance) Prokofiev Piano Concerto No 1
7.00 Twenty Minutes: The Concert Pianist
An excerpt from Conrad Williams 's 2006 novel, read by Robert Bathurst. Pianist Philip Morahan can no longer play the piano. There are too many distractions - his agent, his girlfriend, his protégé, his reviews - all of which overwhelm him in a poignant and comic way.
7.20 Shostakovich Symphony No 7 (Leningrad) A delayed broadcast of this Prom is on BBC2 at 6.45pm
