Presented by Martin Handley, live from the Royal Albert Hall, London.

Stravinsky: Symphony of Psalms

interval at c.8 pm
For the first part of his professional life Munich-born Carl Orff, early music pioneer and music educator, was not a terribly successful composer. But between 1932 and 1944 his income increased nearly tenfold and his greatest hit, the 1937 Carmina burana, came at a time when many of Germany's most celebrated composers and musicians had fled the Nazi regime. Erik Levi, author of the definitive 'Music in the Third Reich', explores Orff's sometimes controversial career in conversation with Martin Handley. Plus, Keelan Carew shares his first clutch of Proms highlights, all available to hear on 主播大秀 Sounds.

Experience the awe-inspiring power of a full orchestra with massed choir and operatic soloists. Sacred and secular collide in a Prom that unites two choral classics: Symphony of Psalms by Igor Stravinsky and Carl Orff鈥檚 Carmina burana. The former offers music steeped in classical tradition yet interpreted with a fresh perspective, while the latter 鈥� with its famous 鈥極 Fortuna!鈥� opening 鈥� is an extravagant musical celebration of springtime, youth, wine and sex.
