BBC Proms 2001

on BBC Two England

Live from London's Royal Albert Hall where American soprano Renee Fleming makes her long-awaited Proms debut singing Mozart's motet Exsultate, jubilate and Richard Strauss's ravishing Four Last Songs of 1948. The first half also features Dvorak's Carnival Overture and Brahms's Variations on the St Anthony Chorale, while the all-Strauss second half begins with the colourful tone poem Don Juan. Christoph Eschenbach conducts the Philharmonia Orchestra and the concert is introduced by Stephanie Hughes.

(Also broadcast on Radio 3 and the internet, and repeated at 10pm on BBC Knowledge.)
During the interval Renee Fleming discusses her life and work with James Naughtie.
