Parisian musicians play French blockbusters from the last two centuries in this orchestral Prom, which also features the Royal Albert Hall's famous organ. They contribute to the celebrations of Olivier Messiaen's centenary with two works with a religious inspiration: one for solo organ and one for a large array of wind and percussion.
