Afternoon on 3 - with Jonathan Swain

Another chance to hear the Aurora Orchestra, conducted by Nicholas Collon in Wolfgang Rihm and Mozart's Symphony No 41 'Jupiter', and Fran莽ois Leleux joins for Strauss's Oboe Concerto.

Presented by Tom Service at the Royal Albert Hall, London

2pm
Wolfgang Rihm: Gejagte Form (2002 version)
Richard Strauss: Oboe Concerto in D major

c.2.40pm
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart: Symphony No 41 in C major, 'Jupiter'

It's difficult to imagine how Mozart could have followed his final symphony, the 'Jupiter' - a work of such scale, majesty and intensity. Tom Service and Nicholas Collon unpick Mozart's continuous stream of joy and invention, allowing us to get under the skin of this great work, which the Aurora Orchestra plays from memory.
Before it, one of the world's leading oboists, Fran莽ois Leleux, plays Strauss's twisting, singing Oboe Concerto - itself preceded by Wolfgang Rihm's Hunted Form, whose animal energy suggests a pursuit more physical than a search merely for musical structure.

[First broadcast on Sunday 31st July]

Followed by a selection of recordings from this week's Proms Artists.
