Proms Special
Ahead of the Proms, Jools shares music by some of this year's featured artists and composers, including pianist Steven Osborne, Isata Kanneh-Mason and Andras Schiff.
In his new show for Saturday lunchtimes, Jools shares his lifelong passion for classical music. With fascinating guests each week who bring their own favourite music and occasionally perform live in the studio.
Today, Jools chooses recordings by some of the artists and composers featured at this year's Proms, including Steven Osborne playing Messiaen, Isata Kanneh-Mason playing Clara Schumann and Andras Schiff playing Bach. We'll also hear about some of the important moments in Proms history such as the outbreak of war in 1939, Martha Argerich's Proms debut in 1966 and the premiere of Malcolm Arnold's Concerto for 2 Pianos (3 hands) in 1969, written for Cyril Smith and Phyllis Sellick. Plus Jools shares his own memories of playing at the Proms in 2017 in a celebration of Stax Records.
