With Penny Gore

Vassily Sinaisky, the BBC Philharmonic's Chief Guest Conductor, is a champion of both Russian and English repertoire, and this Prom draws these two passions together. 

The concert opens with the first Proms performance of Parry's Symphonic Fantasia, and closes with Tchaikovsky's swansong, his 'Pathetique' Symphony. Vassily Sinaisky admits "even though it is my favourite piece, I try not to conduct it too much, as every performance of it should be a special event".

At the centre of the BBC Philharmonic's first appearance this season is Scriabin's Piano Concerto, with Argentinian soloist Nelson Goerner, whose performances of the great Romantic concertos are much admired. A relatively early work, it shows the influence of Chopin on Scriabin's music. Presented by Petroc Trelawny.
