Highlights from the 2022 season of BBC Proms, UK’s greatest classical music festival.

The Vienna Radio Symphony Orchestra under its Chief Conductor Marin Alsop bring Dvořák's most dramatic symphony to the Proms alongside a new work by the young Austrian composer Hannah Eisendle.  Although Dvořák's music is firmly rooted in the traditions of his native Bohemia, it was in London - as well as the rest of the UK - that the composer received the greatest acclaim during his lifetime. After the success of his Sixth, the prestigious London Philharmonic Society not only commissioned Dvořák to write the next symphony for them but also elected him as an honorary member. The first performance in London's St. James Hall was a brilliant success with the composer conducting the work.

BBC presenter Andrew McGregor and music scholar Katy Hamilton introduce the concert.

Broadcast programme:
Hannah Eisendle - Heliosis
