With Penny Gore 
A second chance to hear a concert from the 2011 BBC Proms
The most influential orchestral work of the 20th century is at the heart of the programme. Stravinsky's Rite caused a scandal at its premiere in 1913 and still sounds sensational nearly 100 years later. Myung-Whun Chung conducts the Orchestre Philharmonique de Radio France in this riot of orchestral colour.

The concert also includes German Romantics from either end of the 19th century, Weber's Oberon overture and Brahms's beautiful Double Concerto, featuring the brothers Capuçon as soloists. Brahms's final work for orchestra, the Double Concerto, was in part a gesture of reconciliation towards his friend the violinist Joseph Joachim and makes huge demands on both soloists. Rob Cowan presents.

Brahms: Concerto in A minor for Violin and Cello (Double Concerto)
