Performance on 3 - Performance on 3: Proms 2009 - 28/12/2009

From the BBC Proms 2009 season, Petroc Trelawny presents John Wilson and his hand-picked Orchestra celebrating 75 years of MGM musicals with songs from unforgettable movie classics, including The Wizard of Oz, Meet Me in St Louis, Seven Brides for Seven Brothers, High Society, Gigi and Singin' in the Rain. Amazingly, although the original orchestral parts were lost when the studio destroyed its music library to make way for a car park, Wilson has succeeded in reconstructing the scores by painstakingly transcribing each soundtrack by ear. He is joined by starry singers from the classical and musical theatre worlds as well as by the elite Maida Vale Singers.
