Date of change: 4 Jun 15 - T084598139

Prom 71 - St Petersburg Philharmonic Orchestra

Work:: Prom 71 (S6009)

Part of the BBC Proms.

Production:: St Petersburg Philharmonic Orchestra (T084598139)

German violinist Julia Fischer joins the St Petersburg Philharmonic Orchestra for its second concert, as soloist in Tchaikovsky's much-loved Violin Concerto - a work in which concert-hall sophistication balances rustic folk-simplicity, overflowing with tunes and climaxing in a dazzling rondo finale. Big tunes - or, at least, one big tune - also dominate Elgar's 'Enigma' Variations, his affectionate musical portrait of friends and acquaintances. The concert opens with one of Rimsky-Korsakov's finest scores, the 'three symphonic pictures' adapted from his 1907 opera The Legend of the Invisible City of Kitezh - a work sometimes nicknamed ?the Russian Parsifal'. Finish time approx. 21:35

Performer	Julia Fischer (violin)
Company	St Petersburg Philharmonic Orchestra (c. 1925-91 Leningrad Philharmonicc Orchestra)
Conductor	Yuri Temirkanov
