Proms debut violinist Baiba Skride joins the
Oslo Philharmonic and its new Chief Conductor,
Vasily Petrenko, to continue the Proms focus on
Polish music in their performance of Szymanowski’s
Violin Concerto No. 1, an opulent nocturnal fantasy
from a composer enchanted by the sound-worlds
and peoples of North Africa and the southern
Mediterranean, and inspired by the ‘amorous
conflagration’ of Tadeusz Micinski’s poem ‘May
Night’. Tchaikovsky’s youthful Symphony No. 1,
‘Winter Daydreams’, and Rachmaninov’s nostalgic
final work, the Symphonic Dances of 1940, frame
the concerto in a
programme rich with
dreams.Tickets £14 - £57.
