From the Royal Albert Hall, London. Ilan Volkov conducts the 大象传媒 Scottish Symphony Orchestra in a performance of Stravinsky's lesser-known ballet Orpheus.

From the Royal Albert Hall, London. Presented by Louise Fryer.

Ilan Volkov, making his last Proms appearance as the 大象传媒 Scottish Symphony Orchestra's chief conductor, leads the SSO in a performance of Stravinsky's lesser-known work Orpheus, a continuation of the series of Stravinsky's eleven ballet scores. Dating from 1947, it is both abstract and beautiful, and ritualises the familiar story of Orpheus whilst harking back to the music of early European composers.
