Performance NotesHot-property conductor Daniele Rustioni brings his Ulster Orchestra to London for a Prom concluding with Dvorák’s stirring Symphony No. 7, in which dark clouds and bright sunshine jostle for supremacy throughout a melody-fuelled, rhythm-buoyed journey that ends in triumph.

Francesco Piemontesi joins the orchestra for the most poetic of Beethoven’s piano concertos, while there’s comedy from centenary composer Busoni and an English musical landscape by Avril Coleridge-Taylor (daughter of the composer of the Hiawatha trilogy) that proves more dramatic than serene.

Broadcast live on BBC Radio 3.
