Prom 65 Part One
Friday 2 September 2005 19:30-20:00 (Radio 3)
Live from the Royal Albert Hall, presented by Stephanie Hughes.
Although not looking for another conducting position, Mariss Jansons was unable to refuse when the Amsterdam Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra approached him. With a programme that plays to their strengths, he and the Dutch orchestra make their second appearance at this year's Proms, with Lutoslawski's folk-inspired orchestral showpiece and, after the interval, Brahms' hard-won first symphonic masterpiece.
