The Sunday Prom: Elgar's Cello Concerto

2014

BBC Radio 3 - BBC Proms, 2014, The Sunday Prom: Elgar's Cello Concerto

Featuring Richard Strauss's tone poem Don Juan and Berlioz's Symphonie fantastique.

The Melbourne Symphony Orchestra performs Elgar's sepia-toned Cello Concerto, Richard Strauss's tone poem about the serial womaniser Don Juan and Berlioz's Symphonie fantastique.

English weekend at the Proms continues with Elgar's autumnal, sepia-toned Cello Concerto, written after the horrors of the First World War. Norwegian virtuoso cellist Truls Mørk joins the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra, visiting the Proms from Australia for the first time and conducted by a Proms favourite, Sir Andrew Davis. The concert opens with Richard Strauss's spectacular tone poem about the serial womaniser Don Juan, with romantic unrequited love at the heart of the final piece, Berlioz's Symphonie fantastique. 

Presented by Katie Derham.
