El segundo concierto de Sir Simon Rattle y la London Symphony en el Festival de Santander estuvo conformado por un programa fuertemente vinculado con la velada previa.

Schumanns Violinkonzert ist ein Werk, dem ein Ehrenplatz unter den ganz großen Konzerten des 19. Jahrhunderts gebührt, das den Vergleich mit demjenigen von Brahms nicht zu scheuen braucht.

L'Orchestre de Paris sous la direction du chef slovaque Juraj Valčuha nous offre un programme original autour d'un Bartók plutôt timide, d'un Prokofiev admirable de poésie (avec le violoniste Vadim Gluzman) et d'un Janáček luxuriant.

The BBC Symphony Orchestra was on great form in an exciting evening comprising a concerto and three symphonic works.

Wednesday night’s Prom saw the Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra and their principal conductor Kirill Karabits give the fourth instalment of the season’s Tchaikovsky symphony cycle with the sunny, confident Third, in D major.
