BBC Proms - 2010 - Prom 46 - Mosolov, Part, Ravel, Scriabin - Part 2

BBC Proms 2010 Live from the Royal Albert Hall, London Presented by Sara Mohr-Pietsch Esa-Pekka Salonen has been Principal Conductor of the Philharmonia Orchestra for less than two years, but his distinctive programming and conducting has already made its mark on London's concert life, and their BBC Prom together epitomises their relationship. It starts with a bang - Alexander Mosolov's futuristic aural picture of industrial 1920s Soviet Russia - and continues with a UK premiere from Estonian composer Arvo Pärt, bringing to a climax the BBC Proms celebrations of his 75th birthday. Two early twentieth-century classics complete the programme: Ravel's remarkable piano concerto for the left hand only, and a sensual ochestral showpiece from Scriabin. Ravel: Piano Concerto for the Left Hand Scriabin: The Poem of Ecstasy Philharmonia Orchestra Jean-Efflam Bavouzet (piano) Esa-Pekka Salonen (conductor) This Prom will be repeated on Thursday 26th August at 2.20pm.
