Beethoven's 'Choral' Symphony is a celebration of human endeavour, as is his ballet score The Creatures of Prometheus. Andris Nelsons gives his final concert as Music Director of the CBSO before returning (see Proms 49 and 51) with the Boston Symphony Orchestra, of which he became Music Director last season. John Woolrich's dark, sardonic contrabassoon concerto was written for the CBSO's own contrabassoonist Margaret Cookhorn.
Followed by great recordings from some of this week's Proms Artists.
