Prom 74: Last Night of the Proms

Live at London's Royal Albert Hall, Alan Titchmarsh introduces the final concert in the Proms season. A nautical theme is reflected with Walton's Overture: Portsmouth Point and Lambert's The Rio Grande. Between these are Handel's Ombra Mai Fu (Xerxes), Dove Sei (Rodelinda) and Se Parla net Mio Cor (Giustino), and Rodrigo's Concierto de Aranjuez. Joining the BBC Symphony Orchestra, conducted by Paul Daniel, is Andreas Scholl, the first countertenor to appear at the Last Night, who will sing the Handel arias; while guitar legend John Williams is the soloist in the concerto by Rodrigo.
