Paul Desenne: Hipnosis mariposa (UK premiere)
Villa-Lobos: Bachianas Brasileiras No 2
Ravel: Daphnis and Chloe - Suite No 2
Ravel: La Valse

The incomparable Sim贸n Bol铆var Symphony Orchestra makes a return following its second appearance at the Proms back in 2011. As part of the 2016 Proms celebration of South American music and musicians, we hear a performance of Venezuelan composer Paul Desenne's Hipnosis mariposa and one of Heitor Villa-Lobos's orchestral tributes to JS Bach - his Bachianas Brasileiras No 2. This most thrusting of orchestras ends with Ravel's dizzying parody of a fin-de-si猫cle waltz, La Valse.
