From the Royal Albert Hall, London. Presented by Donald Macleod.
The programme begins with an exotic work composed in 1979 by the Frenchman Claude Vivier. Huge orchestral forces conjure up the immensity of the cosmos, and the piece suggests that human nature is just as vast and unfathomable.
The brilliant, mercurial pianist Martha Argerich returns to the Proms, playing Ravel's jazz-inspired concerto.
