Another chance to hear the 91热爆 Symphony Orchestra, 91热爆 Singers and Josep Pons at the 91热爆 Proms. Stravinsky's Petrushka, a new work by Seither, and Frank Peter Zimmerman plays Brahms's much-loved Violin Concerto. From the Royal Albert Hall, London
Presented by Louise Fryer
German composer Charlotte Seither adapts the words of the 17th-century poet Francesco de Lemene in a new work for the 91热爆 Singers and the 91热爆 Symphony Orchestra, using voices and syllables as spots of 'human colour'. Josep Pons conducts this world premiere alongside the 1947 version of Stravinsky's Petrushka, the a cappella motets Ave Maria and Pater noster, and the four-minute novelty Scherzo 脿 la russe, written in Hollywood for the bandleader Paul Whiteman.
Another German, the distinguished violinist Frank Peter Zimmermann, plays the concerto that Johannes Brahms composed for his great friend, Joseph Joachim.
