BBC Opus Arte is delighted to announce the release of two spectacular DVD's featuring the Queen's Jubilee Concerts, 'Prom at the Palace' and 'Party at the Palace', held in the gardens of Buckingham Palace in the presence of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. Under the creative guidance of Sir George Martin, Phil Ramone and Sir Andrew Davis, some of the world's most celebrated pop and classical musicians gathered together for these sensational events. The BBC Symphony Orchestra and Chorus, under the baton of their Conductor Laureate Sir Andrew Davis, formed the backbone of the two hour classical concert - Prom at the Palace - on June 1st. Opera fans enjoyed a particular treat with Dame Kiri Te Kanawa (singing Bizet and Gershwin), Sir Thomas Allen (Rossini and Sir Edward German), and Roberto Alagna and Angela Gheorghiu (Puccini and Verdi) sharing the honours. From the beautiful Music Room and Ballroom in the Palace, the audience enjoyed performances by Mstislav Rostropovich and the cello section of the LSO (Villa-Lobos), and Roberto Bolle and Zenaida Yanowsky (Swan Lake). The second concert - Party at the Palace - took place two days later on Jubilee Bank Holiday Monday, June 3rd, presented by Ben Elton, Lenny Henry and surprise guests. The fantastic line-up of artists, who have between them sold in excess of 500 million records worldwide, included Annie Lennox, Atomic Kitten, Blue, Bryan Adams, Brian Wilson, The Corrs, Sir Cliff Richard, Sir Elton John, Emma Bunton, Eric Clapton, Joe Cocker, Ladysmith Black Mambazo, Mis-Teeq, Sir Paul McCartney, Phil Collins, Queen, Ray Davies, Rod Stewart, S Club 7, Dame Shirley Bassey, Steve Winwood, Tom Jones, Tony Bennett and Will Young. The 'after concert' fireworks display brought the concert to a spectacular conclusion. Broadcast worldwide to an audience of over 200 million viewers, the fantastic pop concert has now been re-mastered and remixed for DVD, giving everyone the opportunity to own a permanent record of this once-in-a-lifetime event. Both concerts are presented on DVD, offering the latest state-of-the-art sound reproduction and high digital picture quality. They are also available on VHS video. 'All proceeds received by BBC Worldwide from the sale of this DVD/VIDEO, after the deduction of costs and expenses in relation to its production and distribution, will be donated to the Queen Elizabeth II Golden Jubilee Trust.'
