| Performance Notes | A regular at the Proms since his debut here over a decade ago, former BBC Young Musician of the Year Benjamin Grosvenor brings a selection of transcriptions and arrangements of works better known in other guises.
The sensuality of Debussys Prélude à laprès-midi dun faune melts into Ravels tender Le tombeau de Couperin suite and his heady, war-scarred La valse, while a passing visit to the Italian opera comes courtesy of Liszts virtuosic reimagining of Bellinis Norma, a bel canto tale of warring Druids and Romans, set in ancient Gaul.
The event was broadcast on BBC Radio 3. |
