Prom 10 - Beethoven, Boulez

Daniel Barenboim conducts the West-Eastern Divan Orchestra. Another chance to second concert of their Proms Beethoven complete symphony cycle.

Afternoon on 3 with Louise Fryer.

Another chance to hear Daniel Barenboim conducting the West-Eastern Divan Orchestra in the second concert of their five-part Beethoven symphony cycle, one of the highlights of this year's Proms season. Founded in 1999 with the aim of bringing together Arab and Israeli players, WEDO has gone far beyond the symbolic in its goal of building bridges through music, to become one of the world's most dynamic orchestras. The groundbreaking electronics of IRCAM, Pierre Boulez's revolutionary powerhouse under the streets of Paris, are heard in his Dialogue de I'ombre double.
