The West-Eastern Divan Orchestra perform Mozart's overture to the Marriage of Figaro and Ravel pieces including Rapsodie espagnol, Pavane for a Dead Princess and Bolero.
A Proms visit from Daniel Barenboim's West-Eastern Divan Orchestra is always an exciting event. The international ensemble's home is Seville and the programme has a strong Spanish flavour. Razia Iqbal and organist-conductor Wayne Marshall present Mozart's sparkling overture to the Marriage of Figaro - set just outside Seville - and a series of Ravel pieces including Rapsodie espagnol, Pavane for a Dead Princess and the ultra-popular Bolero.
