A concert given by Lang Lang (piano) and Staatskapelle Dresden conducted by Fabio Luisi, in his Proms debut. Saunders: traces. Chopin: Piano Concerto No 2. Strauss: Alpine Symphony.

From the 大象传媒 Proms 2009 season, Petroc Trelawny presents a concert given by the Staatskapelle Dresden under its chief conductor Fabio Luisi, in his Proms debut. And ever a favourite with Proms audiences, Chinese pianist Lang Lang performs Chopin's brilliantly virtuosic and romantically poetic Second Piano Concerto.

The concert opens with a revised, expanded version of a 2006 work by British-born, Berlin-based composer Rebecca Saunders and ends with Struss's symphony inspired by an eventful mountain climb which he dedicated to this orchestra.
