BBC Proms 97: North and South

あらすじ

The last of four Proms recorded for television at London's Royal Albert Hall, introduced by James Naughtie. One of the most popular and challenging pieces in the concert-pianist's repertoire, Grieg's Piano Concerto in A minor, is performed by Leeds International Piano Competition winner Ilya Itin, with the BBC Philharmonic Orchestra conducted by Vassily Sinaisky. As a contrast to the Scandinavian folk themes of Grieg's work, the concert also includes Capriccio italien, Tchaikovsky's portrait of a trip to Southern Europe.
