Prom 33: National Youth Orchestra of Great Britain
19:45 Sun 10 Aug 2014 Royal Albert Hall
The NYOGB presents a fiery and virtuosic programme of 20th-century orchestral masterpieces, conducted by Proms favourite Edward Gardner. BBC New Generation Artist Louis Schwizgebel takes the lead in Prokofiev’s youthful First Piano Concerto, which brims with the same audacious energy that pulses through Stravinsky’s vividly colourful ballet Petrushka. Lutosławski’s Concerto for Orchestra closes the evening with still more primary-coloured, folkloric brilliance and drama.
