BBC Proms 2024 - Remembering Sir Andrew Davis at the Proms (320kbps .mp3)

With a career which spanned 132 performances at the Royal Albert Hall, including an appearance on the chamber organ for Monteverdi's vespers in 1968, Sir Andrew Davis clocked-up more First and Last Nights at the Proms than any other conductor in modern times.

Following his death earlier this year, Radio 3 reflects on Sir Andrew's presence at the festival, and celebrates his artistry, his relationship with the BBC's orchestras, and among other things his famously good-humoured speeches.
