Prom 20 - Stravinsky/Schumann

Work:: Prom 20 (S01126278745)

Production:: Stravinsky/Schumann (T1694157813)

We continue our Stravinsky ballet series with the zany Neapolitan comedy in which the composer's reworkings of rediscovered 18th-century scores (reputedly by Pergolesi) resulted in the creation of a whole new - and wholly modern - neo-Classical style. And we continue our bicentenary survey of Mendelssohn's symphonies with the one that quotes Luther's great Reformation hymn 'Ein' feste Burg ist unser Gott'. The young French-Canadian maestro Yannick Nézet-Séguin (Gergiev's successor at the Rotterdam Philharmonic and now Principal Guest Conductor of the London Philharmonic Orchestra) makes his Proms debut, as does the prize-winning American pianist Nicholas Angelich in Schumann's popular concerto. Approx end time: 21:45
