Performance NotesPraised by the The New York Times for his ‘exquisite tone and virtuosity’, American violinist Randall Goosby makes his Proms debut in pioneering 18th-century composer Joseph Bologne’s graceful Violin Concerto in G major, Op. 8, and Chausson’s Poe`me, a passionate musical love letter.

Cristian Macelaru conducts the Orchestre National de France in a French- themed programme, including two orchestral masterpieces by Ravel – the colourful Rapsodie espagnole and the haunting ghost-waltz La valse – as well as Charlotte Sohy’s rhapsodic Danse mystique.
