Beethoven: Piano Concerto No 4 in G major

Berlioz: Symphonie fantastique

Mitsuko Uchida (piano)
Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra
Mariss Jansons (conductor)

Mitsuko Uchida is a much loved figure on the concert platform, and she returns to the Proms after an absence of almost 20 years, joining the Bavarian Radio Symphony for Beethoven's Piano Concerto No 4, in which musical ideas are tested to their limits in a dialogue between the keyboard and orchestra. The rest of the programme is devoted to Berlioz's monumental Symphonie fantastique, complete with opium-fuelled obsessions, a rural idyll and a danse macabre. The conductor Mariss Jansons, who celebrates his 70th birthday this year, is a regular at the Proms, and he demonstrates the closeness of his 10-year partnership with the Bavarian orchestra.
