BBC Radio 3 - Afternoon Concert, Proms 2010 Repeats, Prom 51

Soprano Nina Stemme sings with the Swedish Chamber Orchestra under Thomas Dausgaard.

Nina Stemme sings Berlioz's Les nuits d'ete with the Swedish Chamber Orchestra under Thomas Dausgaard. Plus symphonies by Schumann and a new work by Albert Schnelzer.

With Penny Gore.

Swedish soprano Nina Stemme sings Berlioz's tender songs of love sought, found and lost with the Swedish Chamber Orchestra, Orebro, 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. Presented by Martin Handley.

Schumann: Symphony in G minor, 'Zwickau' (incomplete) 
Berlioz: Les nuits d'ete 
Albert Schnelzer: A Freak in Burbank (UK premiere) 
Schumann: Symphony No. 2 in C major
