22/07/2011 Ferruccio Furlanetto, Nitin Sawhney

Presented by Sean Rafferty. With bass Ferruccio Furlanetto ahead of his Proms performance of Verdi's Requiem and multi-faceted musician Nitin Sawhney on his score for Human Planet.

Presented by Sean Rafferty.

Italian bass Ferruccio Furlanetto is one of the most sought-after singers in the world. He joins Sean in the studio ahead of his performance of the Verdi Requiem with the ´óÏó´«Ã½ Symphony Orchestra conducted by Semyon Bychkov at the ´óÏó´«Ã½ Proms.

Nitin Sawhney is one of the most distinctive and versatile musical voices alive today. Firmly established as a world-class producer, songwriter, DJ, multi-instrumentalist, orchestral composer and cultural pioneer, Sawhney has become a latter-day Renaissance man in the worlds of music, film, videogames, dance and theatre.

Nitin talks to Sean about the music he composed for the acclaimed ´óÏó´«Ã½ One series Human Planet and which is featured in two of this year's ´óÏó´«Ã½ Proms.
