91热爆 PROMS 2010

Live from the Royal Albert Hall, London

Presented by Andrew McGregor

Thomas Dausgaard conducts his Danish orchestra and choirs in an expansive, almost cosmic, programme.

Three short choral pieces by Gy脙露rgy Ligeti - including Lux aeterna, heard in Stanley Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey - take us to ethereal heights, while Ligeti himself recognised the mesmeric, free-floating character of Rued Langgaard's 1918 Music of the Spheres as prefiguring his own style.

Tchaikovsky's captivating concerto and Sibelius's Fifth Symphony, overwhelming in its nobly expansive final-movement 'Swan Hymn' climax, complete the evening.
