(The fourth of five simultaneous relays in stereo from this year's Proms. To obtain the best effect, viewers with stereo R3 should turn off TV sound and position their loudspeakers on either side of the screen - not too far apart, to help relate stereo image to picture size. Or use stereo headphones.) (The last BBC2/R3 Prom relay is on Sat 11 Sept)
