Proms 2020: Paavo Järvi conducts the Philharmonia Orchestra
broadcast from the Royal Albert Hall
Primary Content
This Prom will be broadcast live at 19:30 BST on BBC Radio 3 & live-streamed to BBC iPlayer.
Please note that it will not be possible to have an audience at the Royal Albert Hall for this concert.
The sophisticated, transfigured Baroque dances of Ravel’s Le tombeau de Couperin offset Shostakovich’s boisterous Piano Concerto No. 1, with its cheeky sprinkling of quotations from Classical giants Beethoven and Haydn among others.
These two works of neo-Baroque and neo-Classical influences are followed by Mozart’s final symphony, the ‘Jupiter’, a high point of the ‘true’ Classical-period canon. Nicknamed posthumously for its majestic first movement and epic finale, the work is a summation of Mozart’s entire symphonic output with its unique blend of grandeur and subtlety.
