Live from the Royal Albert Hall, London
Presented by Louise Fryer
The BBC Symphony Orchestra's Principal Guest Conductor, David Robertson, makes the first of two appearances this season. Between Mozart's final operatic overture and the most determinedly optimistic of Haydn's 'London' symphonies come two contrasting works by Bartók: the unusually mellow and good-humoured Piano Concerto No. 3, featuring distinguished pianist Richard Goode, and the compact burst of fierce vocal virtuosity in which Bartók retells the Romanian coming-of-age parable of nine young hunters fleeing their roost.
