Performance Notes	The pictures Modest Mussorgsky saw at an exhibition in 1874 were fantastical and surreal uniting objects and animals, poetic atmosphere and architectural precision. The City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestras Prom under Kazuki Yamada presents a rare opportunity to hear the music those images inspired in Mussorgsky in the picturesque orchestration by Proms founder-conductor Henry Wood, which pre-dates Ravels by seven years. Ravel fans can revel in the enchanted world of his fairy-tale ballet Mother Goose. In addition, theres Mozarts probing final piano concerto and a welcome outing for Augusta Holmèss hypnotic interlude La nuit et lamour. Broadcast live on BBC Radio 3.
