With James Jolly. Vivaldi: Concerto in E flat, RV253. Arban: Variations on Casta Diva. Puccini: Preludio Sinfonico. Chopin: Preludes, Op 28. Mozart: Ch'io mi scordi di te?, K505.

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, we feature Strauss' Alpine Symphony in a performance conducted by Andris Nelsons, the Latvian conductor, who is garnering high praise for his work with the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra, and Swedish soprano Miah Persson sings a concert aria by Mozart. Also today, trumpeter Alison Balsom is our Friday virtuoso.
