7. Omnibus at the Proms
Aired Aug 23, 1991
The King's Consort. In 1749, the first public rehearsal for Handel's Musick for the Royal Fireworks caused a three-hour traffic jam. Keen to recapture the original fun and excitement - without the chaos - Robert King assembles a huge baroque orchestra in London's Royal Albert Hall , including 20 oboes and 12 bassoons. Also in the programme is the Water Music - written by Telemann. Presented by Nicholas Kenyon.
