| Performance Notes | Susanna Mälkki returns to the Proms with two genre-defining 20th-century favourites. Revisiting the doomed love of Veronas most romantic couple, Prokofievs Romeo and Juliet effectively revivified the evening-length ballet, just as Bartóks Concerto for Orchestra cemented the potential of an apparently contradictory title.
Between these classics, Lawrence Power joins the Philharmonia Orchestra to tackle the fiendishly difficult solo part in Olga Neuwirths recent work for viola and orchestra, comprising five breathtaking, seething, allusion-rich movements.
UK premiere of 'Remnants of Songs ... an Amphigory', Olga Neuwirth.
