Prom Concert 49 opened with a suite of the beautiful music Ravel composed for Mother Goose(Ma Mere L'oye). There followed some rather unattractive vocal music(with the conductor's wife as soloist)which can be safely bypassed. Following the intermission and more dispensable vocal presentations, the concert concluded with a fine performance of Rimsky-Korsakov's musical tales from the Arabian Nights, Scheherazade. Available here on the iPlayer. Also on that page a very worth-hearing discussion of the Ravel work is available for listening.
