Performance Notes	The first of the Berliner Philharmonikers two Proms this season comprises a pair of musical love letters. One is to a person: Robert Schumanns Piano Concerto was written for his wife Clara (whose own concerto is performed on the First Night). Its a work whose supple and sensual music offers touching insights into one of the most passionate musical romances of the 19th century. The other was written to a country. In Ma´ vlast Bedr?ich Smetana one of this years Czech anniversary composers, born 200 years ago transferred all his love for his Bohemian homeland into a majestic sequence of six symphonic poems: pictures of his countrys landscape and history. With the exceptional pianist Vi´kingur O´lafsson for company, Kirill Petrenko conducts his illustrious orchestra in music that comes straight from the heart. Broadcast live on BBC Radio 3
