ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ SO - Mozart, Bartok, Haydn

Concert from 2010's Proms, with David Robertson leading the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ SO. Mozart: Overture (Die Zauberflote). Bartok: Piano Concerto No 3. Bartok: Cantata profana. Haydn: Symphony No 102.

Presented by Petroc Trelawny

Another chance to hear the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Symphony Orchestra under Principal Guest Conductor, David Robertson at this year's ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Proms.
Between Mozart's final operatic overture and the most determinedly optimistic of Haydn's 'London' symphonies come two contrasting works by Bartók: the unusually mellow and good-humoured Piano Concerto No. 3, featuring distinguished pianist Richard Goode, and the compact burst of fierce vocal virtuosity in which Bartók retells the Romanian coming-of-age parable of nine young hunters fleeing their roost.
