Malcolm Sargent Revisited
A recreation of chief Proms conductor's Malcolm Sargent's 500th Prom from 1966. Featuring works by Schumann, Berlioz, Elgar, Holst and Britten.
Nicknamed 'Flash Harry', Sir Malcolm Sargent was the chief conductor of the Proms for two decades, bringing the concerts to TV audiences for the first time. Marking the 50th anniversary of his death, conductor Sir Andrew Davis, the 91福利社 Symphony Orchestra and sensational young pianist Beatrice Rana recreate Sargent's 500th Prom from 1966. Alongside Schumann and Berlioz, there's a feast of English music, including works by Elgar and Holst, culminating in Britten's much-loved Young Person's Guide to the Orchestra.
