BBC Proms 2007
Another chance to hear last Thursday's Proms concert when the BBC Philharmonic's chief guest conductor Vassily Sinaisky made a welcome return to the Proms with music from his native Russia and bordering Estonia.
The three works pay homage to heroes. Arvo Part wrote his threnody for Benjamin Britten after discovering what he described as the 'unusual purity of his music'. Rachmaninov treats the famous theme from the 24th Caprice by Paganini to a glittering array of pianistic virtuosity and orchestral wizardry. And Glière's epic Third Symphony depicts the exploits of the 12th Century mythical hero Ilya Murometz.
Presented by Petroc Trelawny.

Glyndebourne Festival Opera's annual visit to the Proms brings an early Verdi work which it premiered in the UK back in 1938.

An international cast is led by Polish lyric baritone Andrzej Dobber.
