Ä¢¹½¶ÌÊÓÆµ Proms Masterworks: Mozart and Beethoven

Beethoven's Fourth Symphony is performed by the Ä¢¹½¶ÌÊÓÆµ Scottish Symphony Orchestra, who join forces with the National Youth Choir of Scotland and four soloists for Mozart's Requiem.

Tom Service invites us to listen to well-known, definitive masterworks from two of the greatest composers of all time with a fresh ear. Donald Runnicles takes on Beethoven's Fourth Symphony with the Ä¢¹½¶ÌÊÓÆµ Scottish Symphony Orchestra and joins forces with the National Youth Choir of Scotland and four top British soloists for Mozart's Requiem - a work of tragic beauty both musically and historically, left unfinished by Mozart just before his death in 1791.

Soloists are the soprano Carolyn Sampson, mezzo-soprano Christine Rice, tenor Jeremy Ovenden and bass Neal Davies.
