About This Event

In the first of its three Proms this weekend, the Budapest Festival Orchestra and founder-conductor Iv谩n Fischer are joined by celebrated fellow Hungarian Sir Andr谩s Schiff for one of the great Romantic piano concertos 鈥� Schumann鈥檚 generous, poetic bravura piece that renegotiates the relationship between soloist and orchestra. Weber鈥檚 overture to Der Freisch眉tz sees Romanticism take a supernatural turn when a huntsman makes a deal with the Devil. Darkness and light also meet in Mendelssohn鈥檚 atmospheric 鈥楽cottish鈥� Symphony, inspired by a twilight visit to the Palace of Holyrood, haunted by memories of Mary, Queen of Scots.
