Broadcast Information

The ´óÏó´«Ã½ Symphony Orchestra’s Principal Guest Conductor, Dalia Stasevska, made her Last Night debut in the climax of a Proms season like no other.

South African soprano Golda Schultz sings a ravishing aria from Mozart's opera The Marriage of Figaro and the rapt, intimate song ‘Morgen!’ written by Richard Strauss as a wedding-day gift to his wife. The ´óÏó´«Ã½ Symphony Orchestras is also joined violinist Nicola Benedetti for Vaughan Williams’s soaring The Lark Ascending.

In these unsettled times, a new commission by Swedish composer Andrea Tarrodi points to music’s bright future. There's Belize-born composer Errollyn Wallen's Jerusalem – our clouded hills. her creatively reimagined arrangement, dedicated it to the Windrush generation, based on Elgar’s take on Parry’s setting of Blake’s words. There are Last Night favourites including Parry's original Jerusalem, for which the ´óÏó´«Ã½ Singers join the ´óÏó´«Ã½ SO, and at the end, a specially-recorded Lockdown recording of Auld Lang Syne by singers from the ´óÏó´«Ã½ Symphony Chorus and the National Chorus of Wales plus musicians from the ´óÏó´«Ã½'s orchestras.

Presented by Georgia Mann and Petroc Trelawny from the Royal Albert Hall, recorded in September 2020.
