Starting a series of six weekly programmes, Georgia Mann explores the coming week's Proms together with a group of guests, including Nicholas Kenyon, Managing Director of the Barbican Centre; Gillian Moore, Director of Music at Southbank Centre, and Helen Wallace, Artistic Director at Kings Place. As Radio 3 opens its rich archives during the summer, the guests offer tips, recommendations and rediscoveries in a unique chance to hear some historic and memorable recordings. The most significant people and events coming up in the week ahead are put under a spotlight, and the guests react to both archive interviews and fresh material recorded especially for the programme.

Proms Preview.

In the Fifth programme of this series, Georgia Mann explores the coming week's Proms concerts with guests Katy Hamilton and Fiona Maddocks, as they react to archive performances, hear fresh interviews and select recommendations. Among the topics in discussion are a 1996 performance of Verdi's opera, Don Carlos, with conductor Bernard Haitink and forces from the Royal Opera Covent Garden, of which he was Music Director at the time, and a cast including Olga Borodina and Dmitri Hvorostovsky. We reflect on the 2008 performance of Stockhausen's Stimmung with Theatre of Voices and director Paul Hillier, and describe the magic that Colin Davis brought to the London Symphony Orchestra during its 2001 rendition of Beethoven's Pastoral Symphony.
