Bryn Terfel
When Bryn Terfel sang at the last night of the Proms dressed in a Welsh rugby shirt and kicked a ball into the promenaders, it was his way of connecting fully with the audience. Joan Bakewell talks to him about the new music in his life, and about music so powerful he does not want to sing it for many years.

The new Finnish conductor of the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra makes his Proms debut this evening. Sakari Oramo is a keen champion of the works of Nielsen, whose Fourth Symphony, the Inextinguishable, is performed after the interval. He is joined by a young star violinist for Sibelius's exultant and heart-rending concerto, and revives Bridge's epic tone poem, first performed at the Proms under Henry Wood in 1912.

Russell Davies presents a 52-part history of jazz.
32: Whatever Happened to the Big Bands? Although the big band era came to a close around the outbreak of the Second World War, big bands themselves did not disappear. And there were be-boppers like Dizzy Gillespie and Thelonious Monk, trained in the band era, for whom it was natural to fuse the old big band style with the new musical language they had created.
