BBC Proms

Tchaikovsky and Prokofiev at the Proms (2023x8)

Data di messa in onda: Ago 06, 2023

Star pianist Isata Kanneh-Mason makes her solo Proms debut with Prokofiev’s thrilling Third Piano Concerto. At just 27 years old, Isata delights in this fiendish work, full of rhythm and romance with rhapsodic bursts of melodic spontaneity. Also tonight, Tchaikovsky’s magnificent fifth symphony which pierces the heart with a stunning exploration of fate. It was a theme that Tchaikovsky grappled with throughout his life, and here that famous horn solo wavers constantly between sorrow and joy, as the composer navigates his own emotions. Both pieces performed by the BBC National Orchestra of Wales under the baton of Ryan Bancroft. Presented by Clive Myrie.
