BBC Proms 2001
The first in a series of repeats from this year's Proms season. The centenary of Joaquin Rodrigo is celebrated with a pair of his concertos: the popular guitar concerto and the Concierto Pasfora/efor flute. The Proms pastoral theme is also echoed in Smetana's evocation of a river that runs through Prague, and in Johann Strauss 's springtime waltz.
