In the second of four Proms recorded for BBC television James Naughtie introduces Beethoven's Symphony No 6 in F (Pastoral), recorded at the Royal Albert Hall on 30 July, and David Attenborough talks about the enduring relationship between music and nature. Mark Wigglesworth conducts the BBC National Orchestra of Wales in Beethoven's sensitive portrait of the countryside, integrating birdsong, peasant dancing and storms into a highly sophisticated symphony that has become one the favourites of the concert repertoire.
