The Royal Philharmonic Orchestra (RPO) is recognised as being the UK’s most in-demand orchestra, an accolade that would have pleased Sir Thomas Beecham, who founded the RPO in 1946. His mission was to lead a vital revival of UK orchestras after World War II and form an ensemble that comprised the finest musicians in the country. The Orchestra has since attracted a glittering list of principal conductors, including Rudolf Kempe, Antal Doráti, Walter Weller, André Previn, Vladimir Ashkenazy, Yuri Temirkanov, Daniele Gatti and Charles Dutoit. Performing approximately 200 concerts each season and with a worldwide audience of more than half-a-million people, the Orchestra embraces a broad repertoire that enables it to reach the most diverse audience of any British symphony orchestra.
As the RPO approaches its seventy-fifth anniversary in 2021, passion, versatility and uncompromising artistic standards still are the orchestra’s hallmarks, perfectly presented in this 10 CD box „The Greatest Last Night Of The Proms“, featuring a veritable „Best of“ of the symphonic repertoire, including some of the most popular works by composers such as Mozart, Beethoven, Tschaikovsky, Verdi, Wagner, Brahms, or Schubert, with a few fanfares and movie themes like „James Bond“ or „The Godfather“ thrown in for good measure – it is a spectacular (and absolutely hypothetical) climax to the world's greatest classical music festival, The Proms, more formally known as the Henry Wood Promenade Concerts, an eight-week summer season of daily orchestral classical music concerts and other events held annually, predominantly in the Royal Albert Hall in central London.
