Susanna Mälkki returns to
the Proms with two
genre-defining 20th-century
favourites. Revisiting the
doomed love of Verona’s
most romantic couple,
Prokofiev’s Romeo and Juiet
effectively revivified the
evening-length ballet, just as Bartók’s Concerto for
Orchestra cemented the potential of an apparently
contradictory title. Between these classics, Lawrence
Power joins the Philharmonia Orchestra to tackle the
fiendishly difficult solo part in Olga Neuwirth’s recent
work for viola and orchestra, comprising five
breathtaking, seething, allusion-rich movements.
