BBC Proms - 2010 - Prom 31 - Part 1

BBC PROMS 2010 Live from the Royal Albert Hall, London Presented by Martin Handley Sir Andrew Davis returns to the BBC Proms as Conductor Laureate of the BBC Symphony Orchestra with a typically wide-ranging programme of music whose pairings reflect musical homages. 'Mozart always smiled; his music also smiled,' said Messiaen of Mozart - which explains the title of his Mozart tribute Un sourire. That prefaces one of Mozart's ebullient piano concertos, and the second half of the concert couples one of Brahms's greatest works with a tribute from one of his English admirers Messiaen: Un sourire Mozart: Piano Concerto No. 17 in G major, K453 Louis Lortie (piano) BBC Symphony Orchestra Sir Andrew Davis (conductor) This Prom will be repeated on Friday 13th August at 2pm.
