Composer Joby Talbot, whose Guitar Concerto receives its world premiere in this evening's Prom, discusses the influence of dance in this new work and along with choreographer Christopher Wheeldon looks at how composers and choreographers work together to create new pieces. Hosted by Andrew McGregor and recorded earlier this evening at the Imperial College Union, London.

Miloš Karadaglić (guitar)
Finchley Children's Music Group
BBC Symphony Orchestra
Alexander Vedernikov (conductor)

Followed by a selection of recordings from this week's Proms Artists.


Guitarist Miloš Karadaglić is the soloist in a new concerto written especially for him by Joby Talbot. Taking inspiration from Karadaglić's Montenegrin heritage, Talbot's typically rhythmic piece incorporates Balkan dances into its propulsive flow.

Dance also runs through both Glinka's heat-soaked Summer Night in Madrid, accompanied by pulsing castanets, and the expansive waltzes of Tchaikovsky's ballet The Nutcracker, whose complete Act 1 is here performed for the first time at the Proms.

Live music and the arts: broadcasts more live music than any other radio network. Classical music is its core. Genres include world and new music, jazz, speech and drama.
