Today's two Proms from the Royal Albert Hall feature two of the world's leading chamber orchestras, one playing on period instruments, one on modern. This afternoon's concert marks the Proms debut of the period instrument group founded in 1981 by Frans Bruggen, whose delight in musical colour and adventure has made Rameau and late Haydn specialities. Beethoven's boldly symphonic concerto is played by a soloist who is equally at home on period and modern instruments.

Thomas Zehetmair (violin), Orchestra of the 18th Century, conductor Frans Bruggen

Rameau Suite: Les Fetes d'Hebe

3.00 Haydn through the Years

Martyn Wade's play about the composer Gerald Finzi (1901-1956), starring Hugh Ross as the composer, Janet McTeer as Joy Finzi, and Anna Massey as Finzi's mother.

Poetry was often the source of Finzi's elegaic and beautiful music, which captures the spirit of the English countryside. He decided at the age of 11 to become a composer and gained the confidence to pursue his chosen profession from his marriage to an exceptional woman.

World Tour
Jo Shinner focuses on the music of the Orkestar Shqiponja de Tirana, from
Albania. After four centuries of Turkish rule and 50 years of the Hoxa regime, Albania's traditional music has only recently emerged on to the world stage. The Orkestar Shqiponja de Tirana was one of the first groups of musicians to take advantage of their freedom after the ending of postwar Communist rule. The group is made up of performers from state orchestras and the State
Folk Ensemble. Repeat
