Live from the Royal Albert Hall, London
Presented by Donald Macleod.
The National Youth Orchestra's annual Prom puts the spotlight this year on two brilliantly orchestrated nineteenth century French masterworks: Paul Dukas's thrilling mix of witty narrative and symphonic momentum and the symphony that made the young Hector Berlioz's name.
Both works have a dark side - the Sorcerer's Apprentice summoning the anarchic spirits while his master is out of the way and the opium-fuelled nightmares of a young love-sick artist which include his own execution and a witches Sabbath.
The programme also includes the London premiere of Julian Anderson's own capricious, contrast-packed 'Fantasias' a work which showcases the plentiful talent in each of the NYO's instrumental sections in turn.
