BBC Proms - 2010 - Prom 51 - Schumann, Berlioz, Schnelzer, Schumann - Part 2

BBC PROMS 2010 Live from the Royal Albert Hall, London Presented by Martin Handley Swedish soprano Nina Stemme sings Berlioz's tender songs of love sought, found and lost with the Swedish Chamber Orchestra, Örebro, conducted by Thomas Dausgaard. Also in the programme, romantic symphonies by Schumann and a new work by Albert Schnelzer. Eight years before he began his First Symphony in 1841, Schumann began an earlier one. Thomas Dausgaard - who has recorded a complete Schumann cycle with his agile Swedish Chamber Orchestra - opens with its sprightly first movement and ends the Proms' Schumann bicentenary symphony cycle with the biggest and most stirring of the set. Swedish composer Albert Schnelzer pays tribute both to Haydn's playful character and to film director Tim Burton, born in the Californian city of Burbank. Albert Schnelzer: A Freak in Burbank (UK premiere) Schumann: Symphony No. 2 in C major Nina Stemme, soprano Swedish Chamber Orchestra, Örebro Thomas Dausgaard, conductor This Prom is repeated on Monday 30th August at 2.00pm.
