Afternoon on 3 - Proms 2010 Repeats - Prom 63

With Jonathan Swain The BBC National Orchestra of Wales' French-born associate conductor, Francois-Xavier Roth, directs a mainly French-flavoured programme beginning with a brilliant suite by Rameau and a selection of Canteloube's seductive folk song settings with Italian Anna Caterina Antonacci as soloist. The title of Paris-based Argentinian composer Martin Matalon's new work translates as 'Lines of Flight' and relates to a technique in drawing where added lines produce depth and perspective in a picture. Finally a rarely-heard version of Musorgsky's Pictures at an Exhibition, orchestrated with characteristic flair and imagination by the founder of the Proms, Sir Henry Wood. Presented by Louise Fryer.
