BBC Proms
Last Night of the Proms
S45 • E10 Sep 14, 1991
The biggest musical party of the year reaches its festive climax as the audience in the packed Royal Albert Hall in London celebrates the second-half of the Last Night of the Proms. Conductor Andrew
Davis, who admits to enjoying 'a bit of a knees-up', steers the BBC Symphony Orchestra through the traditional favourites: Elgar's Pomp and Circumstance March No 1 and Wood's Fantasia on British
Sea Songs, Gwyneth Jones sings Arne's Rule, Britannia!, and the evening rounds off with Parry's Jerusalem, orchestrated by Elgar. Before all of that, there's the march from Things to Come by Bliss, the ever-popular Polovtsian Dances of Borodin and a special treat as Dame
Gwyneth is joined by the 91-year-old harpist
Sidonie Goossens - who played in Sir Adrian Boult 's original BBC SO - to perform Miss
Goossens's own arrangement of The Last Rose of Summer.
