大象传媒

With Jonathan Swain

Oliver Knussen conducts the 大象传媒 Symphony Orchestra in this wide-ranging Prom from last week, opening with Stockhausen's festive overture from 1977 and continuing with a trio of recent British works, including Colin Matthews' Violin Concerto with soloist Leila Josefowicz. The Proms' Schumann symphony cycle, celebrating the bicentenary of the composer's birth, continues with the Third Symphony. It's the most pictorial, evoking by turns a beer garden by the Rhine and the Gothic magnificence of Cologne Cathedral. A century later Bernd Alois Zimmermann's witty Rhine-Church Festival Dances, celebrated the same German region. Presented by Martin Handley.
