Prom 67 - Last Night of the Proms 1910
Work:: Prom 67 (S6004)
Part of the BBC Proms.
Production:: Last Night of the Proms 1910 (T0324129576)
To open our day long tribute to Proms founder-conductor Henry Wood, we present his own Last Night programme from a century ago - so producing the first Proms season ever to feature two Last Nights. While this parade of short popular classics truly recalls Promenade concerts of another age, we also continue Wood's commitment to new works - what Wood called his 'novelties'. So one short cello piece from the original 1910 programme is this afternoon replaced by a brand-new work, based on a movement from the unfinished Cello Concerto by Vaughan Williams. Finish time: approx. 18:00
