大象传媒 PROMS 2011

Live from the Royal Albert Hall, London

Presented by Petroc Trelawny

One of the world's great orchestras comes to the Proms with a programme of familiar classics including Rachmaninov's Symphonic Dances, written for Philadelphia.

Charles Dutoit conducts, and violinist Janine Jansen joins the orchestra for the ever-popular Tchaikovsky Concerto.

These works are bookended by Sibelius's nationalistic tone poem and Ravel's apotheosis of the waltz, a piece whose unstoppable whirling may have been intended as a metaphor for the fate of European civilisation.

Sibelius: Finlandia
Tchaikovsky: Violin Concerto

Janine Jansen (violin)
Philadelphia Orchestra
Charles Dutoit (conductor).
