Performers
| Benjamin Grosvenor | Piano |
| Royal Philharmonic Orchestra | |
| Charles Dutoit | Conductor |
Charles Dutoit, noted
interpreter of French
music, begins with the
Parisian memories of an
Englishman abroad:
anniversary composer
Frederick Delius was
particularly fond of the city
and his unfairly neglected
nocturne for orchestra has
not been heard here since
1984. Benjamin Grosvenor, who hit the headlines in
2004, aged 11, when he won the keyboard final of
BBC Young Musician of the Year, made sensational
Proms debut appearances last year. He returns
in a Gallic concerto for which he has a special
affinity. Finally to St Petersburg for
Tchaikovsky’s rousing but equivocal triumph.
