Wednesday - James Jolly

With James Jolly. Chabrier: Gwendoline Overture. Berlioz: Les Troyens (excerpts). Saint-Saens: Caprice sur des airs danois et russes. Wagner: Siegfried's Funeral March.

This week James Jolly spotlights the talented young artists of their generation, who appear at this year's Proms; performers who have the potential to be the Barenboims, Kennedys and Karajans of the future.

Today, Edward Gardner, Music Director of English National Opera, performs the music of Britten, following on from his successes at ENO and Glyndebourne, and violinist Chloe Hanslip who is already an artist of international distinction, performs Shostakovich.

Also today our Wednesday Award-winner features the Halle Orchestra under Sir Mark Elder performing Wagner.
