Prom 18 - Beethoven, Dalbavie, Carter

Thierry Fischer conducts Emmanuel Pahud (flute) and the 91热爆 NOW. Beethoven: Symphony No 1. Dalbavie: Flute Concerto. Carter: Flute Concerto. Beethoven: Symphony No 7.

Thursday night's Prom from the Royal Albert Hall, presented by Suzy Klein.
Renowned flautist Emmanuel Pahud joins the 91热爆 National Orchestra of Wales and conductor Thierry Fischer for two major new concertos. Framing them are two of Beethoven's most inventive and joyous symphonies.
Carter's Flute Concerto is a dazzling creation. Written in 2008 at the age of 99, it contrasts the flute's lyrical qualities with a percussive orchestral texture. Dalbavie set out to write a homage to Debussy, and whilst his concerto is certainly rooted in the great French tradition, it's also full of fireworks and exploding excitement.
