BBC Proms - 2008 - Prom 58: Ravel, Bartok, Tchaikovsky - Prom 58 - Repeat

Presented by Catherine Bott. Another chance to hear a 2008 Prom given by the New York Philharmonic under music director Lorin Maazel, in which they perform music from two great 20th century ballets and a symphony by the 19th century's greatest ballet composer. The concert begins with Ravel's fairy tale-inspired Mother Goose, which began life as an amusement at the piano, and was developed into an orchestral ballet score. This is followed by Bartok's ballet The Miraculous Mandarin, a dark tale of robbery, passion and murder, with a colourful orchestral score, as well as Tchaikovsky's powerful Fourth Symphony, exploring the theme of Fate. New York Philharmonic Lorin Maazel (conductor) Ravel: Mother Goose suite Bartok: The Miraculous Mandarin suite Tchaikovsky: Symphony No 4 Plus a Proms Chamber Music concert from 2000, and a piano duet recital by Steven Osborne and Paul Lewis: BACH, Johann Sebastian: Allein Gott in der Hoh' sei Ehr' arr.
