Following her recent UK debut, American conductor Karina Canellakis now makes her first visit to the Proms, joining the 大象传媒 Symphony Orchestra and fellow American Jeremy Denk for Bart贸k's ferociously brilliant Second Piano Concerto.
Dvo艡谩k's Symphony No. 8, by contrast, is a work of genial lyricism. 'Melodies simply pour out of me,' wrote the composer, and the result is a pastoral symphony in all but name.
The concert opens with the European premiere of Missy Mazzoli's mesmeric Sinfonia - music 'in the shape of the solar system' that weaves and coils itself in a sequence of pulsing loops.
