大象传媒 Proms 2009:

Another chance to hear a Prom conducted by Oliver Knussen, the 大象传媒 SO's new artist-in-association.

It features Respighi's dawn-to-dusk tour of Rome's most famous fountains, Helen Grime's dramatic evocation of the atmosphere before a storm and Stravinsky's 1936 ballet Jeu de cartes - a musical poker game in three 'deals'.

The concert concludes with Balakirev's 'oriental fantasy' inspired by the Caucasus, where Casella propelled an already virtuosic keyboard piece into even more exotic extremes, and Knussen's own thrilling Horn Concerto.
