| Performance Notes | Marin Alsop and the Vienna Radio Symphony Orchestra are joined by Proms regular and former BBC Radio 3 New Generation Artist Benjamin Grosvenor for Prokofievs ferociously demanding Piano Concerto No. 3.
My new symphony, wrote Dvorák of his Seventh, must
make a stir in the world. The result does just that, emerging from a brooding opening into rhapsodic warmth, animated by folk dances and a seemingly endless stream of melodies.
This contrasts with the deliciously grotesque episodes of Bartóks The Miraculous Mandarin suite; and tonights orchestra and conductor also bring a new work by Viennese composer Hannah Eisendle, having given its premiere in March.
UK premiere of 'Heliosis', Hannah Eisendle.
Marin Alsop dedicated 'Pussy-(r)-Polka' to girl band Pussy Riot. |
