Synopsis

The BBC Proms season continues at London's Royal Albert Hall with a live transmission - broadcast simultaneously with Radio 3 - introduced by James Naughtie. Andrew Davis conducts the BBC Symphony Orchestra in the television premiere of Elgar's Symphony No 3. Elgar left behind an incomplete work when he died in 1934, but composer Anthony Payne has elaborated on the sketches to produce a major symphonic work. The evening also includes two well-loved pieces - Ravel's Mother Goose Suite, and Mozart's Piano Concerto No 17 in G, with soloist Richard Goode.
