Omnibus at the Proms

with Anne-Sophie Mutter (solo violin) and the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra leader BARRY GRIFFITHS conducted by Yuri Temirkanov Introducted by Jane Glover Tonight's programme from the 92nd season of Henry Wood Promenade Concerts at the Royal Albert Hall features Dvorak's Violin Concerto in A minor Op 53, played by the brilliant young German violinist. Premiered in London 100 years ago, this unduly neglected concerto is a stream of melodic invention. Before it begins, tonight's soloist talks about its romantic appeal. The concert opens with 'Kikimora', a short symphonic poem by the Russian composer Anatol Lyadov.
