Reger: Variations and Fugue on a Theme by Mozart
Strauss: Till Eulenspiegels lustige Streiche

Nikolaj Znaider (violin)
Staatskapelle Dresden
Christian Thielemann (conductor)

The Staatskapelle Dresden and its Chief Conductor Christian Thielemann open their second Prom with Beethoven's most radiant, smiling work, his sublime Violin Concerto, in the sure hands of Nikolaj Znaider. This famously rich-toned orchestra digs into Max Reger's affectionate and beautifully orchestrated Variations and Fugue on a Theme by Mozart and finally Richard Strauss's witty and abrasive depiction of an impish figure from German folklore, his outlandish tone-poem telling of 'Till Eulenspiegel's merry pranks'.

First broadcast in September 2016.
