Part 1
From the Royal Albert Hall. John Casken: Orion over Farne. Tchaikovsky: Piano Concerto No 2 in G. Stephen Hough (piano), City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra/Andris Nelsons.
From the Royal Albert Hall, London. Presented by Donald Macleod
Andris Nelsons, the CBSO's new Music Director, makes his Proms debut. This concert celebrates both the 2009 International Year of Astronomy and John Casken's birthday with the Barnsley-born composer's evocation of Orion the hunter ever journeying towards the unknown across the Northumbrian night sky.
Stephen Hough continues his exploration of the complete Tchaikovsky piano concertos with the unfairly neglected Concerto No 2, whose middle movement unexpectedly flowers into a minor triple concerto for piano, violin and cello.
