大象传媒 Proms 2008:

Another chance to hear a Prom featuring conductor Roger Norrington and the Stuttgart Radio Symphony Orchestra performing key works by three much-loved composers.

The concert begins with Rossini's overture to his opera William Tell, with its brooding prelude for cellos and famous galloping ending, and is followed by Haydn's early C major Cello Concerto, long-thought lost until it turned up in the 1960s. The soloist is young French cellist Jean-Guihen Queyras, who makes his 大象传媒 Proms debut. The programme ends with Elgar's Symphony No 1 in A flat, described at the time of its debut by Hans Richter as 'the greatest symphony of modern times'.
