Performance NotesExperience the awe-inspiring power of a full orchestra with massed choir and operatic soloists. Sacred and secular collide in a Prom that unites two choral classics: Symphony of Psalms by Igor Stravinsky and Carl Orff’s Carmina burana.

The former offers music steeped in classical tradition yet interpreted with a fresh perspective, while the latter – with its famous “O Fortuna!” opening – is an extravagant musical celebration of springtime, youth, wine and sex.

The event was broadcast on BBC Radio 3.
