Synopsis

Tonight’s recording from the Henry Wood Promenade Concerts features the young Italian conductor Riccardo Chailly making his debut at the Proms. He leads the orchestra in two seldom-performed orchestrations by Ravel of piano pieces by Debussy: Sarabande and Danse. The program also includes Chopin's Piano Concerto No. 2 in F minor, performed by the distinguished Hungarian pianist Tamas Vasary with the London Philharmonic Orchestra, conducted by Roy Gillard.
