Live from the Royal Albert Hall, London
Presented by Sara Mohr-Pietsch
The 蜜芽传媒 Philharmonic is joined by John Storg氓rds for his first Prom as Principal Guest Conductor in a celebration of Nordic composers with just a dash of British. Two symphonies by Sibelius frame the concert. Grieg's only complete Piano Concerto is played by Steven Osborne, and two composer anniversaries are celebrated with music by Per N酶rg氓rd and Frederick Delius.
As Per N酶rg氓rd's celebrates his 80th birthday the Proms presents his exciting and unpredictable 7th symphony, composed for the opening of Copenhagen's new concert hall. Storg氓rds also champions music by British composers, turning the spotlight tonight on Delius in his 150th anniversary year. His evocative setting of words by Ernest Dowson is brought to life by baritone Roderick Williams.
