The World's Greatest Classical Music Festival. The BBC Proms is a classical music festival held every summer at the Royal Albert Hall in London, and in recent years has explored an innovative series of Proms around the UK with concerts in all four nations. Its aim: to bring the best in classical music to the widest possible audience, which remains true to founder-conductor Henry Wood’s original vision in 1895. Whether you are a classical connoisseur or think classical music isn’t for you, there is something for everyone in the eight-week stretch of concerts.
In tonight's recording from the Henry Wood Promenade Concerts the young Italian conductor Riccardo Chailly makes his Prom debut in two rarely heard orchestrations by Ravel of piano pieces by Debussy: Sarabande and Danse. The concert also includes Chopin's Piano Concerto No 2, in F minor, played by the distinguished Hungarian pianist Tamas Vasary with the London Philharmonic Orchestra - leader Roy Gillard
