BBC Radio 3 - Afternoon Concert, Proms 2012 Repeats, Prom 36 - Ivor Novello Celebration

Mark Elder conducts the Halle orchestra in a Prom celebrating Ivor Novello.

Louise Fryer presents a Prom in which the Halle orchestra and conductor Mark Elder celebrate the work of actor, playwright, composer and raconteur Ivor Novello.

With Louise Fryer

The Hallé Orchestra and conductor Mark Elder 'keep the home fires burning' in this Prom celebrating the work of Ivor Novello: actor, playwright, composer and raconteur. With singers Sophie Bevan and Toby Spence, and actor Simon Callow. 

Novello was the most consistently successful composer of British musicals before Andrew Lloyd Webber, but is now somewhat neglected. The Hallé is joined by soprano Sophie Bevan and tenor Toby Spence to sing through the Novello songbook, and they're helped along the way by Simon Callow as master of ceremonies.
