Darsteller

Vadim Gluzman	Violine
Jiří Bělohlávek	Musikalische Leitung
BBC Symphony Orchestra

After last year’s
sensational complete
Má vlast comes
Smetana’s
autobiographical E minor
quartet, in George
Szell’s orchestration,
another first for the
Proms. Its finale is
suddenly interrupted by a graphic illustration of
the onset of deafness, a sustained high E, here on
piccolo as well as violin, imitating the tinnitus that
afflicted the composer. By contrast Prokofiev’s
concerto is one of his magical fairy-tale pieces,
championed tonight by Proms debut artist, Vadim
Gluzman. Dvorák’s dark, passionate Seventh
Symphony was commissioned by the Philharmonic
Society of London, the composer himself
crossing the Channel to direct the premiere.

Plan

Prom 15: A Slavic feast from Bělohlávek and the BBC Symphony Orchestra

Nahoko Gotoh, 10th September

Jiří Bělohlávek, who was indisposed for his first scheduled Proms performance this year (in his final season as Chief Conductor of the BBC Symphony Orchestra), was back on the podium to conduct a Slavic-themed programme on Wednesday night. There were many elements of the concert which I enjoyed, especially the grandiose and colourful arrangement of Smetana’s String Quartet no.
