PromsInts: In Tune Proms Highlights 2

Our weekly In Tune Proms Podcast offers you a digest of highlights of this season's guests! First, Sean Rafferty talks to Paavo Jarvi as he was rehearsing with the Deutsche Kammerphilharmonie Bremen before their all-Beethoven programme, including Symphonies 1st and 5th and the Violin Concerto, with American violinist Hilary Hahn. Now, Sean was also joined by violinist Leila Josefowicz and composer Colin Matthews, to discuss the violin concerto he wrote specially for her. Talking about other Proms stars, Sean welcomed David Charles Abell and singer Caroline O'Connor to discuss their concert on Saturday July 31st, entirely dedicated to Stephen Sondheim and his musicals, as he reaches the age of 80. Our last contribution comes from singers Ben Heppner and Violeta Urmana, who perform on Sunday August 1st, in a programme including scenes from Berlioz's Romeo and Juliet and Wagner's Tristan and Isolde, with the Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment conducted by Sir Simon Rattle.
