Afternoon on 3 - Proms 2010 Repeats - Prom 29

With Jonathan Swain The National Youth Orchestra's annual Prom puts the spotlight this year on two brilliantly orchestrated nineteenth-century French masterworks: Paul Dukas's thrilling mix of witty narrative and symphonic momentum and the symphony that made the young Hector Berlioz's name. Both works have a dark side - the Sorcerer's Apprentice summoning the anarchic spirits while his master is out of the way and the opium-fuelled nightmares of a young love-sick artist which include his own execution and a witches' Sabbath. The programme also includes the London premiere of Julian Anderson's capricious, contrast-packed 'Fantasias' a work which showcases the plentiful talent in each of the NYO's instrumental sections in turn. Introduced by Donald Macleod. Dukas: The Sorcerer's Apprentice Julian Anderson: Fantasias (London premiere) Berlioz: Symphonie fantastique National Youth Orchestra of Great Britain Semyon Bychkov (conductor) Followed by highlights from last year's East Neuk Festival including: Beethoven: String Trio in E flat major, Op.3 Leopold String Trio.
