BBC Proms

Season 45 Episode 5: Omnibus at the Proms: Conductors All

In a few short months, Mark Wigglesworth has come to the fore as one of Britain's most dynamic young conductors. Winner of the 1989 Kondrashin Competition and recently appointed as Associate Conductor of the BBC Symphony Orchestra at the age of 26, he now makes his Proms debut with a performance of Bartok's Music for Percussion, Strings and Celesta. Robert Ziegler, tonight's presenter and himself a conductor, also meets the venerable Polish composer Witold Lutoslawski, who conducts his new work, a song-cycle called Chantefleurs et Chantefables. Norwegian soprano Solveig Kringleborn is the soloist with the BBC Symphony Orchestra.
