2.20pm BBC Proms 2008
Another chance to hear Saturday's Prom in which violinist Nigel Kennedy made a return to the Proms - after an absence of 21 years - joining the BBC Concert Orchestra and Paul Daniel for Elgar's Violin Concerto. Introduced by Sean Rafferty, the programme begins with The Garden of Fand, one of Bax's so-called 'Celtic twilight' works, and a magical evocation of the sea surrounding Fan's island. Afterwards Andrew Kennedy is soloist in Finzi's setting of Wordsworth's poem about the loss of childhood innocence.
