Prom 59: David Zinman conducts the Tonhalle Orchestra
Sep 1, 2005
Zurich's Tonhalle Orchestra makes a welcome return for a programme which includes music by Wagner, Beethoven and Richard Strauss.

Finally, the Royal Albert Hall will be filled with the rousing opening bars of Stanley Kubrick's epic 2001: a Space Odyssey, part of Richard Strauss 's lofty tone poem. Also Sprach Zarathustra. Alan Titchmarsh hosts this recording of the August Bank Holiday concert.
