Presented by Katie Derham at the Royal Albert Hall, London.

Colin Matthews: Turning Point (UK premiere)

Prokofiev: Violin Concerto No. 2 in G minor

at approx 2.55pm
Shostakovich Symphony No. 11, 'The Year 1905'

Daniel Hope (violin)
BBC National Orchestra of Wales
Thomas Søndergård (conductor)

The BBC National Orchestra of Wales return to the BBC Proms with Principal Conductor Thomas Søndergård to give the UK premiere of Colin Matthews's mercurial Turning Point. The overall impression is, as Matthews puts it "of complex momentum countered by expressive simplicity".

British violinist Daniel Hope has toured the world as a virtuoso soloist for many years, acclaimed by critics as adventurous and brilliant, of probing intellect and commanding style. Prokofiev's Second Violin Concerto was a landmark in the composer's search for a new simplicity and a directness of expression. The flinty beauty of the concerto stands in sharp contrast to the granite heft of Shostakovich's Symphony No. 11, 'The Year 1905' written four years after the death of Joseph Stalin and studded through with revolutionary songs.


Plus highlights from the 2012 Cheltenham Festival.
