Rhythm 'n' Jews

Part 3 - Songs of our Fathers

As the great American melting pot ideal faltered, US citizens of diverse origins went in search of their roots. In California's Bay Area some 1970s Jewish students discovered some old 78 recordings of Klezmer music and began working on piecing the music back together.

The Klezmorim, the Klezmer Conservatory Band in California and Andy Statman and Zev Feldman in New York began rediscovering klezmer, combining academic investigation with hippy anarchism and creativity.

Presented by Linton Chiswick.

BBC Proms 2005

Prom 39 Part One

Live from the Royal Albert Hall, London.

Mendelssohn's magical music for Shakespeare's play takes centre stage in this year's fairytale celebrations. Only 17 when he wrote the overture, Mendelssohn recaptured all its youthful freshness years later when he was commissioned by the King of Prussia to supply a complete set of instrumental music for the play. Beethoven's heroic symphony forms a fitting conclusion to the concert.

Presented by Edward Seckerson.

Mendelssohn: A Midsummer Night's Dream incidental music, sung in English
Beethoven: Symphony No 5 in Cm.

Mary Nelson (soprano)
Victoria Simmonds (mezzo-soprano)
Methodist College Belfast Girls' Choir

Produced by Elizabeth Allard.
