Live from the Royal Albert Hall, London.
To mark his 90th anniversary, New Zealand composer Douglas Lilburn's beautifully crafted one movement symphony opens the Proms debut concert of the New Zealand Symphony Orchestra.

Part 2 - Restless Europeans
The Middle Ages get a bad press, depicted as years of stagnation, constant warring and - worst of all - the black death. But medieval historian Miri Rubin has a very different view. She argues that these years are, in fact, the time when modern Europe was born.
Miri visits some of Europe's great medieval cities and hears how constant migrations during this period transformed the cultural face of Europe, bringing new institutions, social hierarchies and attitudes that have changed little to this day.

Ernst von Dohnányi (1877-1960)
Part Five
Unable to refute the pro-Nazi allegations made against him, Dohnányi knew he wouldn't be able to return to his native Hungary. He decided to make his way to Argentina, but the accusations followed him, and his career as a concert pianist was almost destroyed.
He was saved by an offer of work in the United States and there lived out the remainder of his days. Donald Macleod introduces works from Dohnányi's American years, including the Violin Concerto No 2 and the piece composed as an affectionate tribute to his adopted country - the American Rhapsody.
