BBC Radio 3 - Afternoon Concert, Proms 2010 Repeats, Prom 35Close menu

A Prom conducted by Thomas Dausgaard, featuring Ligeti, Tchaikovsky, Langgaard, Sibelius.

Thomas Dausgaard conducts a Prom with an expansive group of pieces. Ligeti: Night; Morning. Tchaikovsky: Violin Concerto. Langgaard: Music of the Spheres. Sibelius: Symphony No 5.

With Penny Gore

Thomas Dausgaard conducts his Danish orchestra and choirs in an expansive, almost cosmic, programme. Three short choral pieces by GyÃ¶rgy Ligeti - including Lux aeterna, heard in Stanley Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey - take us to ethereal heights, while Ligeti himself recognised the mesmeric, free-floating character of Rued Langgaard's 1918 Music of the Spheres as prefiguring his own style. Plus Tchaikovsky's captivating concerto and Sibelius's Fifth Symphony, overwhelming in its nobly expansive final-movement 'Swan Hymn' climax. Presented by Andrew McGregor
