Mitsuko Uchida returns to the Proms after an
absence of almost 20 years as the soloist in
Beethoven’s Piano Concerto No. 4, which
overturned formal traditions by opening
with a simple statement for solo piano.
Musical ideas are tested to their limits in a
conversation between keyboard and orchestra.
The opium-fuelled obsessions, flower-like dancers,
rural idyll, rolling tumbrel and danse macabre of
Berlioz’s 1830 gothic masterpiece Symphonie
fantastique conclude the first of the Bavarian
Radio Symphony Orchestra’s two Proms (see also
Prom 35) with Mariss Jansons, who celebrates his
70th birthday this year.Tickets £14 - £57.
