Afternoon on 3 - 24/07/2008

Presented by Penny Gore. BBC Proms 2008: Another chance to hear a Prom featuring conductor Roger Norrington and the Stuttgart Radio Symphony Orchestra performing key works by three much-loved composers. The concert begins with Rossini's overture to his opera William Tell, with its brooding prelude for cellos and famous galloping ending, and is followed by Haydn's early C major Cello Concerto, long-thought lost until it turned up in the 1960s. The soloist is young French cellist Jean-Guihen Queyras, who makes his BBC Proms debut. The programme ends with Elgar's Symphony No 1 in A flat, described at the time of its debut by Hans Richter as 'the greatest symphony of modern times'. Jean-Guihen Queyras (cello) Stuttgart Radio Symphony Orchestra (SWR) Roger Norrington (conductor) Rossini: William Tell Overture Haydn: Cello Concerto No 1 in C Elgar: Symphony No 1 in A flat Plus Chamber Music: Britten: Cello Suite No 3 Christian Poltera (cello).
