| Performance Notes | Rachmaninovs Symphony No. 2 a passionate, unashamedly emotional score from a man who once declared himself completely under the spell of Tchaikovsky is paired here with a kaleidoscopic tour of the orchestra by the Ukrainian composer Ivan Karabits, father of the Bournemouth Symphony Orchestras long-standing Chief Conductor, Kirill Karabits.
Premiered in 1981, his Concerto for Orchestra No. 1 was written to celebrate the 1,500th anniversary of the founding of Kyiv in chiming bells, fanfares and marches: a sonic snapshot of a city in happier days. Horn virtuoso Felix Klieser makes his Proms debut with Mozarts sunny Concerto No. 4.
The event was broadcast on BBC Radio 3 and BBC television. |
