BBC Proms 96

あらすじ

Live from the Royal Albert Hall, London, in a simultaneous broadcast with Radio 3, the new Principal Guest Conductor of the BBC Symphony Orchestra, Jiri Belohlavek, makes his debut at the Proms for a programme featuring a trio of pieces from his Czech homeland. Dvorak's Te Deum, written for the composer's visit to America in 1892, opens the concert, sung by soprano Judith Howarth, baritone Ivan Kusnjer and the BBC Symphony Chorus. It is followed by works with military associations from the two greatest Czech composers of the 20th century: Martinu's Field Mass and Janacek's Sinfonietta. The evening is completed by the last of Mozart's piano concertos - No 27 in B flat, K595 - performed by American pianist Richard Goode.
