Prom 44 - Lahav Shani plays and directs Prokofiev archive

Part of the BBC Proms. Prokofiev's Third Piano Concerto isn't just a surefire showpiece that paints a vivid picture of its creator's acerbic spirit, it's also a treacherously difficult work conceived for Prokofiev's own extraordinary pianistic prowess. Bringing his Rotterdam Philharmonic Orchestra to the Proms, Lahav Shani goes all-in: playing the concerto while directing it at the same time. This feat of musical derring-do is apt for a concert packed with game-changing masterpieces from the first decades of the 20th century, including Debussy's symphonic seascape La mer. It culminates in the waltz to end all waltzes: Ravel's compelling, nightmarish piece of orchestral theatre, La valse. There will be an interval.
