| Performance Notes | The two symphonies that frame this Prom each offer a defiant, optimistic challenge to the status quo. Mozarts pioneering Prague Symphony rewrites the rule book for the genre, while in Schumanns 'Second Symphony' the composer overcomes the demons of his own mental health to produce a work of invigorating, captivating extremes.
Conductor Bernard Haitink a Proms regular for over half a century returns with frequent collaborators, the Chamber Orchestra of Europe. They are joined by award-winning German violinist Isabelle Faust, the soloist in Mozarts graceful 'Violin Concerto No.3'.
The concert was broadcast on BBC Four on 23 July 2017. |
