Broadcasts
Broadcast on BBC FOUR The historic Handel and Haydn Society makes its Proms debut with its Artistic Advisor Sir Roger Norrington – one of the most invigorating figures of the early music world. Haydn moved away from the typical religious or mythical oratorio subjects in his ode to nature (based on a poem by James Thomson, better known to Proms audiences for his words to the Last Night favourite 'Rule, Britannia!'). With characteristic flair, Haydn celebrated the timeless passing of the seasons in musical scenes and dances depicting country life.
There will be one interval
