Mendelssohn 'Songs Without Words' - Sir Henry Wood conducts

With the annual Proms underway, it is time to take a moment to remember Sir Henry Wood, their conductor for nearly half a century until his death in 1944. Here are two of Mendelssohn's 'Songs Without Words' arranged for orchestra: "Spring Song" and "The Bees' Wedding." Wood recorded them in 1929 with the New Queens Hall Orchestra.
