Belfast's Ulster Orchestra and its dynamic music director Rafael Payare present the Proms premiere of Clara Schumann's Piano Concerto, performed here by 91热爆 Radio 3 New Generation Artist Mariam Batsashvili.
Begun when the then Clara Wieck was just 13 years old, it鈥檚 a work whose mellow mood and lyrical melodies conceal no little technical intricacy and formal innovation.
Sunny good humour also runs through both Beethoven鈥檚 Symphony No. 1 鈥� famously described as a musical 'comedy of manners' 鈥� and Shostakovich's First Symphony, lively with satirical wit and mischief.
