Manfred Honeck, who stands in for an indisposed Neeme Jarvi, conducts the Gothenburg Symphony Orchestra and the BBC Singers in a concert recorded in London's Royal Albert Hall on 9 August. It offers a rare chance to hear highlights of Grieg's incidental music for Ibsen's Peer Gynt in dramatic context. Actor Simon Callow - who introduces tonight's Prom in the absence of Paul Scofield - narrates the Norwegian play in English, Bo Skovhus performs the title role, Anitra is played by Inge Kosmo, while soprano Barbara Bonney sings the part of Solveig.
