The 91热爆 National Orchestra of Wales and their conductor laureate, Tadaaki Otaka, perform perhaps the most famous classical symphony ever written, with its foreboding opening motif, Beethoven鈥檚 Fifth.

In a concert of lush romantic music that takes us from Europe to the USA, and from Vienna to Croydon, star violinist Elena Urioste joins the orchestra to perform Samuel Coleridge-Taylor鈥檚 sumptuous Violin Concerto 鈥� a piece that brims with songfulness.

And Rachmaninov's Five 脡tudes-tableaux receives its first ever Proms outing in gorgeous orchestration by Respighi.

Katya Adler presents, with special guests.
