Charles Dutoit (conductor)
The gothic horror story of Duke Bluebeard prompted some of the most imaginative, descriptive and shocking music Bart贸k would write. With its huge orchestra, underpinned in this concert performance by the mighty Royal Albert Hall organ, Bart贸k's score speaks of the darkness of Bluebeard's vast castle and the cold-blooded murder of his six wives.
Under Principal Conductor Charles Dutoit, the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra conjures up Bart贸k's unsettling realm after Dvor谩k's Cello Concerto, which the composer believed 'outstrips the other two concertos of mine'.
[First broadcast on Wednesday 3rd August]
Followed by a selection of recordings from this week's Proms Artists.
