BBC Proms 97

BBC Radio 3

Tonight at the Royal Albert Hall, Proms premieres for new works by Elliott Carter and Mark-Anthony Turnage, both guaranteed to challenge and excite. Conductor Oliver Knussen places them in a stimulating mix of English and American folk and cowboy songs, beginning with Carter's festive overture and ending with Copland's invigorating ballet.
