BBC Proms Season 34 Episode 5 aired on August 26, 1980.


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.
BBC2 joins with Radio 3 in stereo for a live relay of the first half of tonight's Henry Wood Promenade Concert from the Royal Albert Hall, London. The Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, leader BARRY GRIFFINIS , is under the baton of their newly-appointed principal conductor Walter Weller. John Lill is the soloist in the Tchaikovsky Piano Concerto No 2, a refreshing alternative to the often-heard No 1. The concert opens with the Overture Manfred by Schumann. Introduced by CORMAC RIGBY.
