听
This regular pattern on 大象传媒 Two offers a mixture of complete concerts and selections from the season's most eagerly anticipated performances, and celebrates such events as Nigel Kennedy returning to the Proms after 20 years, anniversaries including the Hall茅 and Vaughan Williams, and to resurrect the Proms concept of Beethoven Night, with plenty of insight and background to the music and musicians featured.
听
大象传媒 Four also offers audiences a consistent pattern of concerts across the season, with Proms concerts every Sunday and Monday evening for seven weeks with a change
of pattern mid-season to include a pair of concerts given by two of the world's greatest conductors 鈥 Daniel Barenboim and Pierre Boulez.
听
Most of the 大象传媒 Four programmes are live from the Royal Albert Hall, though some of the most sought-after concerts of the season, including Sir Simon Rattle with the Berliner Philharmoniker and the World Music Celebration, which fall on other days of the week, will also be recorded for future broadcast during the season ensuring audiences have the chance to see, as well as hear, the best the season has to offer.
听
For the first time the 大象传媒 iPlayer will enable audiences to watch all televised Proms for seven days after the original broadcast. All 大象传媒 Two transmissions will also be available on 大象传媒 HD TV in 5.1 surround sound for the first time, extending viewing opportunities even further.
