大象传媒 PROMS 2011

Recorded at the Royal Albert Hall, London last September

Presented by Petroc Trelawny

Another chance to hear one of the world's great orchestras on their visit to last year's Proms with a programme of familiar classics including Rachmaninov's Symphonic Dances, written for the Philadelphia Orchestra.

Charles Dutoit conducts the ever-popular Tchaikovsky Concerto, with soloist Janine Janson, as well as 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
Rachmaninov: Symphonic Dances
Ravel: La valse

Janine Jansen (violin)
