“The heat of a summer’s afternoon is conjured up by the characteristic air ‘Ramah’ and a glowing Pavane. A refreshing shower of fossils awakens us from our early evening reverie, before we “dream my flower, dream and rest, dream of a world of musicians,” which we hear in the finale of Dvorak’s Violin Concerto before a capricious Shostakovich Prelude prepares us for tonight’s Prom. Produced by Richard Denison”
