Presented by Tom Service.
2.10pm BBC Proms 2008
Another chance to hear Monday's orchestral Prom with Parisian musicians playing French blockbusters from the last two centuries, also featuring the Royal Albert Hall's famous organ. They contribute to the celebrations of Olivier Messiaen's centenary with two works with a religious inspiration: one for solo organ and one for a large array of wind and percussion. And they join forces to end the concert with Saint-Saens's famous Organ Symphony.
