Prom 59 Part One
Monday 29 August 2005 19:30-20:20 (Radio 3)
Live from the Royal Albert Hall, presented by Louise Fryer.
Continuing this year's Proms nautical theme, Wagner's musical depiction of a storm-tossed sea provides a tempestuous contrast with the sunrise opening of Strauss' tone poem. Pianist Emanuel Ax joins the visiting Zurich orchestra in Beethoven's grandiose and lyrical concerto.
