BBC Radio 3 - Afternoon Concert, Proms 2015 Repeats, Prom 12: Leif Ove Andsnes and the Mahler Chamber Orchestra

Leif Ove Andsnes (piano) and the Mahler Chamber Orchestra perform Stravinsky and Beethoven

A Prom featuring Leif Ove Andsnes (piano) directing the Mahler Chamber Orchestra. Stravinsky: Octet. Beethoven: Piano Concertos: No 2 in B flat, Op 19; No 5 in E flat (Emperor).

Another chance to hear Leif Ove Andsnes and the Mahler Chamber Orchestra complete their cycle of Beethoven Piano Concertos at the BBC Proms, contrasting the 2nd and 5th with Stravinsky's Octet.

Presented by Sara Mohr-Pietsch from the Royal Albert Hall, London

Stravinsky: Octet
Beethoven: Piano Concerto No. 2 in B flat major
Beethoven: Piano Concerto No. 5 in E flat major 'Emperor', Op 73

Mahler Chamber Orchestra
Leif Ove Andsnes


Leif Ove Andsnes and the Mahler Chamber Orchestra complete their cycle of Beethoven Piano Concertos with Nos. 2 and 5 - the composer's first and final experiments in the genre.
In No. 2 a spacious and lovely central Adagio is framed with Mozartean grace in the outer movements, while the Fifth is the composer's last word on the subject - a musical emancipation of the soloist that anticipates the Romantic concertos of Beethoven's successors. Looking to the musical past for inspiration once again, Stravinsky's Octet pastiches the forms and textures of the 18th century, colouring them with a mood and mischief all his own.


[First broadcast on Sunday 26th July 2015]

Followed by great recordings from some of this week's Proms Artists.
