BBC Proms: BBC Proms 96: the First Night

Aired 1996-07-19

The BBC Proms season opens at the Royal Albert Hall with a live transmission in simultaneous broadcast with Radio 3 of Haydn's The Creation, the first of ten concerts screened this summer. Andrew Davis conducts the BBC Symphony Orchestra and Chorus, with German soloists Juliane Banse (soprano), Hans Peter Blochwitz (tenor) and Wolfgang Schone (baritone). In the interval, host James Naughtie examines how Haydn chose his particular theme, while Professor David Broomhead, Heather Couper, Dr Richard Dawkins, and Archbishop Richard Harries look at modern religious and scientific attitudes.

Playback is provided by a third-party source (XPrime). StreamFlix does not host any video files. If a stream fails to load, the source may be temporarily unavailable.
