Concert Three
Monday 1 August 2005 13:00-14:00 (Radio 3)
Live from Cadogan Hall, London, a Proms debut for an elite ensemble made up of principal players from the National Youth Orchestra of Great Britain. Lutoslawski's capricious soundscape of overlapping ideas contrasts with the radiant wide-open spaces of Copland's ballet score in its original version for 13 players. John Woolrich's fascinating new piece has echoes of the darkly comic world of Goya's paintings. Presented by Stephanie Hughes.
