Introduced live from the Royal Albert Hall by Sara Mohr-Pietsch.
A visit by the virtuoso instrumentalists of the European Youth Orchestra is always one of the highlights of the Proms season. Tonight one of the great
Sibelius interpreters, Colin Davis, brings his deep understanding of the composer's music to a symphony that is by turns optimistic and epic. As Sibelius himself confided: "It is as if God the Father had thrown down mosaic pieces from Heaven's floor and asked me to put them back as they were."

European Union Youth Orchestra, conductor Colin Davis
