Part of the BBC Proms. We celebrate both the International Year of Astronomy and John Casken's 60th birthday with his evocation of Orion the hunter. Stephen Hough continues his traversal of the complete Tchaikovsky piano concertos with the unfairly neglected Concerto No. 2. And we continue our survey of the complete Stravinsky ballets with The Firebird, his first commission from Diaghilev's Ballets Russes. Approx. end time: 21:35
