大象传媒 PROMS 2011

Recorded at the Royal Albert Hall, London in September

Presented by Sean Rafferty and Suzy Klein

Another chance to hear conductor Edward Gardner lead the traditional festivities of the Last Night of the Proms 2011.

Gardner, who was the youngest Last Night conductor since Sir Henry Wood himself on the first Last Night in 1895, brings a youthful verve to the celebrations. He's joined by leading dramatic soprano Susan Bullock who performed Brunnhilde's famous 'Immolation Scene' which concludes Wagner's epic Ring cycle, as well as leading the customary communal singing after the Interval. Super-star pianist Lang Lang - the man who's inspired millions of Chinese children to take up the piano - performs Liszt, a composer who he describes as a "rock star" but also a "truly great musician" - words that could equally describe Lang Lang himself.
