Prom 54 - BBC Symphony Orchestra

Work:: Prom 54 (S5991)

Part of the BBC Proms.

Production:: BBC Symphony Orchestra (T0505622329)

In the second of his two Proms this season David Robertson conducts two enduring works by composers who fashioned a new aesthetic out of Romantic roots. The expansive melodies and edgy pace of centenary composer Samuel Barber are at their most powerful in the Violin Concerto, played here by Israeli-American virtuoso Gil Shaham. Sibelius's Second Symphony traces a path from terse drama to great affirmation. For his new commission in his 50th-birthday year, jazz-inspired Mark-Anthony Turnage has resolved not to write 'an old man's piece'. Finish time: approx. 21:00
