BBC Radio 2 - Sunday Night is Music Night, Our Great Arrangers

Leo Green presents the BBC Concert Orchestra as they salute our great arrangers.

Tonight, we salute those unsung heroes of the music world - the arrangers. Leo Green presents music arranged by Stanley Black, Robert Farnon, Gordon Langford and many more.

Since the first broadcast of Friday Night is Music Night in 1953 many of the world's finest music arrangers have provided scores and compositions for the BBC Concert Orchestra to perform. So tonight we salute those unsung heroes and raid the shelves of the BBC Music Library for the works of Stanley Black, Robert Docker, Robert Farnon, Gordon Langford and many more. 

The BBC Concert Orchestra is conducted by Gavin Sutherland with special guest Sophie-Louise Dann. The show is presented by Leo Green.

First broadcast in November 2017.
