Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
In order to make this attractive two-CD compilation set, the BBC has raided the EMI and Virgin Classics back catalogues and put together a selection of pieces which are frequently heard at the Proms, or have some special Proms connection. Falling neatly into the latter category is John Tavener's ecstatic piece for cello and strings The Protecting Veil, which was a BBC Proms commission in 1989, here performed by its dedicatee Steven Isserlis. The collection finishes with a live Last Night recording (including the sound of party-poppers, whistles and sirens) of "Land of Hope and Glory" Wood's Fantasia on British Sea Songs, "Jerusalem" and "Rule, Britannia!" with Bryn Terfel. Before this the collection offers Jacqueline du Pré playing the opening of Elgar's Cello Concerto, Neville Marriner conducting the opening chorus of Bach's Magnificat and the overture to Candide brilliantly played by the Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra. Sometimes the programming is a little samey in tone--Carmina Burana followed by Fanfare for the Common Man, for example--but overall this is a fine collection of well-performed excerpts. --Warwick Thompson
