Schumann's lyrical Piano Concerto continues the season's bicentenary celebrations of the composer's birth. Conducted by Vassily Sinaisky, the 大象传媒 Philharmonic is joined by acclaimed pianist Christian Zacharias who is fascinated by Schumann's music. 'Schumann, of course, is not easy', says Zacharias. 'He has rhythmically intricate ideas which suggest one thing but which actually hide another', like the 'hidden waltz' of the finale.
After the interval, the spirit of the traditional Proms Viennese night is revived, with a variety of classics from the Strauss family.
