Wagner and Strauss
Aug 30, 2012·3h
One of the great youth orchestras returns to the Proms, the Gustav Mahler Youth Orchestra conducted by Daniele Gatti. The concert opens with a prelude from Wagner's Parsifal and is followed by a trailblazing concerto from 20th-century Vienna, Alban Berg's Violin Concerto with soloist Frank Peter Zimmermann. Vienna is the setting for a bittersweet tale of young love and middle aged melancholy in the Rosenkavalier Suite by Richard Strauss and the concert concludes with French composer Maurice Ravel's take on the Viennese waltz in his explosive La valse. Introduced by Samira Ahmed.
