Prom 18 - Beethoven, Dalbavie, Carter

Thierry Fischer conducts Emmanuel Pahud (flute) and the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ NOW. Beethoven: Symphony No 1. Dalbavie: Flute Concerto. Carter: Flute Concerto. Beethoven: Symphony No 7.

Thursday night's Prom from the Royal Albert Hall, presented by Suzy Klein.
Renowned flautist Emmanuel Pahud joins the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ National Orchestra of Wales and conductor Thierry Fischer for two major new concertos. Framing them are two of Beethoven's most inventive and joyous symphonies.
Carter's Flute Concerto is a dazzling creation. Written in 2008 at the age of 99, it contrasts the flute's lyrical qualities with a percussive orchestral texture. Dalbavie set out to write a homage to Debussy, and whilst his concerto is certainly rooted in the great French tradition, it's also full of fireworks and exploding excitement.
