The hugely acclaimed period instruments of Les Siècles return to the Proms this year with Cédric Tiberghien as the soloist in Saint-Saens' Egyptian Concerto.
This all-French programme, inspired by the East, also features the fragrant Indian gardens of Delibes's Lakmé, the eroticism of Samson and Delilah, and the adventures of Lalo's Namouna. Oriental demons surface in Les Djinns, complementing the vibrantly coloured music of Java and the Middle East that suffuses Saint-Saëns's Piano Concerto.

First broadcast on Wednesday 16 August

Followed by a selection of recordings from this week's Proms Artists.

Producer Samuel Hickling.
