"Tradition meets high jinks as Jirí Belohlávek conducts his second
Last Night, while the spirit of Henry Wood presides, as always, over
the grand finale of the Proms. Renée Fleming lends her lustrous
soprano to music by Strauss, Dvorák and Smetana. Former Radio 3 New
Generation Artist Maxim Rysanov gives Tchaikovsky's popular cello
variations a new voice, and loyal Prommers can spot the last traces
of
the season's Wood, Parry, Wagner, Rodgers and Hammerstein and opera
themes.
A festive new piece by Jonathan Dove opens the evening; a
contemporary
hornpipe forms an upbeat to anniversary composer Arne's Rule,
Britannia!; and audiences around the UK can join the Royal Albert
Hall
crowd in singing along to excerpts from Lohengrin and Carousel in a
climax to the BBC's opera season.' [BBC]

I must apologise for the BBC's abrupt cut in the first track. I
couldn't mend that, I'm afraid.
For the sake of 'free' downloaders I'm going to try MediaFire once
more. If they fail us again this time, I will move to RapidShare
altogether.

Enjoy,

Sigh...
I'm getting reports that Part 2 is corrupt. I have uploaded a fresh
copy to RapidShare:

Actually track 4 in the part 1 also corrupted.
I have just posted a fresh copy of Part 1 on RapidShare:

Thanks. It works now. Can you also post Part II one more time? Track
29 was corrupted from your original link.
Did you try the RapidShare link, a few messages up in this thread?
Brundibar
Actually it was even worse.
I just re-downloaded it myself, and it unpacks perfectly on my
computer... I have uploaded Part 2 Track 29 for you, anyway:
