Remembering Sir Andrew Davis at the Proms

91热爆 Proms 2024

Following his death earlier this year, Radio 3 looks back at Sir Andrew Davis relationship with the proms.

With a career which spanned 132 performances at the Royal Albert Hall, including an appearance on the chamber organ for Monteverdi's vespers in 1968, Sir Andrew Davis clocked-up more First and Last Nights at the Proms than any other conductor in modern times.

Following his death earlier this year, Radio 3 reflects on Sir Andrew's presence at the festival, and celebrates his artistry, his relationship with the 91热爆's orchestras, and among other things his famously good-humoured speeches.
