Afternoon on 3 - Proms 2010 Repeats - Prom 35

With Penny Gore Thomas Dausgaard conducts his Danish orchestra and choirs in an expansive, almost cosmic, programme. Three short choral pieces by György Ligeti - including Lux aeterna, heard in Stanley Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey - take us to ethereal heights, while Ligeti himself recognised the mesmeric, free-floating character of Rued Langgaard's 1918 Music of the Spheres as prefiguring his own style. Plus Tchaikovsky's captivating concerto and Sibelius's Fifth Symphony, overwhelming in its nobly expansive final-movement 'Swan Hymn' climax. Presented by Andrew McGregor Ligeti: Night Ligeti: Morning Tchaikovsky: Violin Concerto Ligeti: Lux aeterna Langgaard: Music of the Spheres (UK premiere) Sibelius: Symphony No. 5 in E flat major Henning Kraggerud (violin) Inger Dam-Jensen (soprano) Danish National Concert Choir Danish National Vocal Ensemble Danish National Symphony Orchestra Thomas Dausgaard (conductor) Followed by highlights from last year's Edinburgh International Festival, including: Schumann: Five Poems of Queen Mary Stuart Lisa Milne (soprano) Malcolm Martineau (piano).
