Live from the Royal Albert Hall on the day of the First Night of the Proms, Linton Stephens explores the 2023 Proms season
Live from the Royal Albert Hall on the day of the First Night of the Proms, Linton Stephens looks ahead to some highlights of this year's season, including the annual joyous visit from the National Youth Orchestra, superstar pianist Yuja Wang in music by Rachmaninov, and the devastating performance of Poulenc's Dialogues of the Carmelites which earned rave reviews at this year's Glyndebourne Festival.
Plus we'll hear tracks from some of the many other great artists featured this season including John Wilson and the Sinfonia of London, South African soprano Masabane Cecilia Rangwanasha and violinist James Ehnes.
