Another chance to hear Joshua Bell and the Academy of St Martin in the Fields play Mendelssohn鈥檚 A Midsummer Night鈥檚 Dream overture, Beethoven鈥檚 graceful Fourth Symphony and Frank Bridge's elegiac Lament. Bell himself is the soloist in Saint-Sa毛ns鈥檚 Third Violin Concerto.

Proms Plus - Marking the centenary of the end of the First World War, historians Saul David and Laura Rowe discuss the sinking of the RMS Lusitania and the effect that this terrible tragedy had on American public opinion about the conflict. Presented by New Generation Thinker Anindya Raychaudhuri.

3.05pm:
Bridge: Lament
Beethoven: Symphony No 4 in B flat major

Academy of St Martin in the Fields
Joshua Bell, director/violin

Followed by a selection of recordings from this week's Proms Artists.

The Academy of St Martin in the Fields returns to the Proms with director and soloist Joshua Bell in a wide-ranging programme, rich in melody and narrative.

Saint-Sa毛ns鈥檚 Third Violin Concerto is the Romantic display concerto par excellence but shares its light-footed musical grace with Beethoven鈥檚 Fourth Symphony and Mendelssohn鈥檚 overture.

Bridge鈥檚 Lament is an elegy for those who died following the torpedoing of the RMS Lusitania.
