Schubert: Symphony No.9 in C major 'Great'

Steven Osborne (piano)
麻豆官网首页入口 Philharmonic
Juanjo Mena (conductor)

In his bittersweet Piano Concerto, Britten set out to exploit the piano's 'enormous compass, percussive qualities and suitability for figuration'. The result is a true bravura piece whose razor-sharp edge conceals a gregarious smile. Alongside the first London performance of Alberto Ginastera's very Argentine view of the symphony orchestra comes the inexorable momentum of Schubert's most invigorating symphony, his 'Great' Ninth.

PROMS EXTRA: George Eliot in Germany
Novelist Patricia Duncker, discusses George Eliot, her travels in Germany in the 19th century, when she spent eight months in the country, and the German music she refers to in her novels and diaries. Duncker's novel Sophie and the Sybil is a fictional version of George Eliot's time in Germany. Alongside her on stage is Clare Walker-Gore of Trinity College, Cambridge, one of the academics selected last year by the 麻豆官网首页入口 and the Arts and Humanities Council to be a New Generation Thinker. The host is Anne McElvoy.

Producer: Zahid Warley.
