Rob Cowan presents Vladimir Jurowski conducting the London Philharmonic Orchestra. Kodaly: Dances of Galanta. Bartok: Piano Concerto No 1 (soloist: Jean-Efflam Bavouzet).
Live from the Royal Albert Hall, London
Presented by Rob Cowan
The dynamic Vladimir Jurowksi conducts the London Philharmonic in an all-Hungarian programme, including a rare performance of the Goethe-inspired Faust Symphony by Franz Liszt, one of this year's featured composers. The multi award winning pianist, Jean-Efflam Bavouzet, plays one of the most technically challenging of all piano concertos, and the programme opens with Kodaly's effervescent dances.
After declaring for years that: 'Anything to do with Goethe is dangerous to handle,' Liszt finally found inspiration for his 'three character portraits' after a visit from the novelist, George Eliot. The symphony concludes with a grandiose setting of the 'Chorus mysticus' unheard at the Proms since 1967.
