Over 40 years since his Proms debut, Sir Roger Norrington makes his first Last Night appearance.

In the first half, Bryn Terfel prays to the stars (as Wolfram in Tannhäuser), delivers his highly individual concept of honour (as Verdi's Falstaff) and renounces God in favour of Tosca (as Scarpia in Tosca) – and French pianist Hélène Grimaud appears in Beethoven's 'Choral' Fantasy (with pre-echoes of the Ninth Symphony's 'Ode to Joy').

The second-half festivities include Anna Meredith's nation-hopping commission as well as a final Vaughan Williams instalment, and a celebration of folk music – a central feature of VW's musical outlook – reflecting back on our earlier Proms Folk Day.
