Beethoven’s 7th Symphony from the BBC Proms

Linton Stephens introduces a week of highlights from the BBC Proms, including, today, Beethoven's Symphony No.7 from the Los Angeles Philharmonic and Gustavo Dudamel, and Haydn's Nelson Mass, performed by the Choir & Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment. Also in today's programme, we visit the Edinburgh international Festival for performances by mezzo-soprano Beth Taylor and pianist Hamish Brown, and brass music from The Wallace Collection. And you can hear Stile Antico singing Allegri's famous Miserere at last month's Summer Festivities of Early Music in Prague.
