DVD Description

Celebrate a great British tradition and embrace the spirit of this magical evening.

Tradition met high jinks in 2010 as Jiří Bělohlávek conducted his second Last Night, while the spirit of Henry Wood presided, as always, over the grand finale of the BBC Proms. Renée Fleming lends her lustrous soprano to music by Strauss, Dvořák and Smetana.

A festive new piece by Jonathan Dove opens the evening; brilliant young viola player Maxim Rysanov gives Tchaikovsky’s popular cello variations a new voice; a contemporary hornpipe forms an upbeat to anniversary composer Arne’s Rule, Britannia!, while traces of the season’s Wood, Parry, Wagner, Rodgers and Hammerstein and opera themes run throughout the concert.

The proms are held with great fun and fanfare and that shows in this DVD. The selection of music however, did not appeal to me and I felt there was too much of Richard Strauss's music. The second half was much more enjoyable with the traditional ending to the Last Night of the Proms as fun as ever.
