Alexander Vedernikov (conductor)

Guitarist Milo拧 Karadagli膰 is the soloist in a new concerto written especially for him by Joby Talbot. Taking inspiration from Karadagli膰's Montenegrin heritage, Talbot's typically rhythmic piece incorporates Balkan dances into its propulsive flow.

Dance also runs through both Glinka's heat-soaked Summer Night in Madrid, accompanied by pulsing castanets, and the expansive waltzes of Tchaikovsky's ballet The Nutcracker, whose complete Act 1 is here performed for the first time at the Proms.
