BBC Proms on the World Service

BBC World Service - BBC Proms 2010, 31/07/2010

BBC Philharmonic at the 2010 BBC Proms: Schumann, Dvorak and Johann Strauss II.

Highlights of the BBC Proms 2010 from the Royal Albert Hall in London. BBC Philharmonic at the Proms: Schumann, Dvorak and Johann Strauss II.

The BBC Philharmonic, one of UK's most distinguished orchestras, brings a varied programme to the Royal Albert Hall under the baton of their Principal Guest conductor Vassily Sinaisky. To start with, an orchestral work by Robert Schumann which is a three-movement symphony in all but name. Towards the end of the programme, a couple of very popular dances from the pen of the Viennese king of the waltz Johann Strauss the Younger. And in between, a tribute to the conductor Sir Charles Mackerras who was originally scheduled to conduct the concert but who sadly passed away just a few days before this Proms season began.

Schumann - Overture, Scherzo and Finale Op. 52 
Dvořák - Slavonic Dance in E minor Op.72 No.2 
J. Strauss II - Emperor Waltz
