Oliver Knussen, the BBC SO's new Artist-in- Association, conducts his Horn Concerto. He also gives the first Proms performance of Helen Grime's dramatic evocation of the electric atmosphere before a storm.
Stravinsky's 1936 ballet Jeu de cartes is a musical poker game in three 'deals', ending with the Joker trounced by a royal flush.
In the second part of his Roman trilogy, Respighi takes us on a dawn-todusk tour of the city's most famous fountains; while, in orchestrating Balakirev's 'oriental fantasy', Casella propelled an already virtuosic keyboard piece into even more exotic extremes.
