Afternoon on 3 with Georgia Mann.

Another chance to hear the Filarmonica della Scala with conductor Riccardo Chailly, joined by violinist Leonidas Kavakos, in Brahms's Violin Concerto, followed by music by Respighi.

Presented by Martin Handley at the Royal Albert Hall, London.

Brahms: Violin Concerto in D major
Respighi: Fountains of Rome; Pines of Rome

Leonidas Kavakos, violin
Filarmonica della Scala
Riccardo Chailly, conductor

Riccardo Chailly returns to the Proms, this time as Music Director of the Filarmonica della Scala (Orchestra of La Scala, Milan), which makes its Proms debut. They bring with them a little piece of Italy in two of Respighi's Rome-inspired tone-poems. Richly vivid in orchestral colour, these works delight in the kind of huge sonorities that come into their own in the Royal Albert Hall. The concert opens with one of the great violin concertos - Brahms's joyous, virtuosic musical homage to his friend and mentor, the virtuoso violinist Joseph Joachim.

[First broadcast on Friday, August 25th]

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