Pictures at an Exhibition
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 Orchestra's 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 Ravel's by seven years. Ravel fans can revel in the enchanted world of his fairy-tale ballet Mother Goose. In addition, there's Mozart's probing final piano concerto and a welcome outing for Augusta Holmès's hypnotic interlude
'La nuit et l'amour' There will be an interval.
