BBC Proms 97: North and South

BBC One
on BBC One London

The last of four Proms recorded for television at London's Royal Albert Hall, introduced by James Naughtie. One of the most popular and challenging pieces in the concert-pianist's repertoire, Grieg's Piano Concerto in A minor, is performed by Leeds International Piano Competition winner Ilya Itin, with the BBC Philharmonic Orchestra conducted by Vassily Sinaisky. As a contrast to the Scandinavian folk themes of Grieg's work, the concert also includes Capriccio italien, Tchaikovsky's portrait of a trip to Southern Europe.

(The next Prom to be televised live is on Wednesday 3 September on BBC2)
