BBC Proms 2021: John Wilson Conducts the Sinfonia of London

Petroc Trelawny presents from the Royal Albert Hall as John Wilson conducts the Sinfonia of London in Strauss's Die Fledermaus Overture and Korngold's Symphony in F sharp, with Francesca Chiejina joining them for Berg's Seven Songs. The Sinfonia makes its much-anticipated official concert debut under John Wilson, who re-established the ensemble in 2018. Following on from their award-winning recording, this orchestral `army of generals" brings with it Korngold's stirring, filmic Symphony in F sharp, part of a musical bird's-eye view of 19th and 20th-century Vienna that also includes the overture to Die Fledermaus and Ravel's dizzying La valse. Strauss: Die Fledermaus - overture. Berg: Seven Early Songs. Ravel: La valse. Interval: Petroc Trelawny talks to Gavin Plumley about Korngold and his world. Korngold: Symphony in F sharp. Francesca Chiejina (soprano), Sinfonia of London, John Wilson (conductor). From 4th September
