A welcome return to the Proms for a great Russian Orchestra and a debut for the son of the conductor in a popular Russian concerto. Tchaikovsky's brilliant score sets the tone and Stravinsky contributes a vivid story of magic and mystery in a kaleidoscope of virtuoso orchestral colour. From the Royal Albert Hall.
