BBC Proms 2006

Overview

The NDR Symphony Orchestra and its chief conductor, Christoph von Dohnanyi, present two neoclassical masterworks: Ravel's Le tombeau de Couperin; and the pithy Violin Concerto in F minor by Stravinsky, with soloist Gil Shaham. In the second half of the concert, Tchaikovsky grapples with fate in his Fourth Symphony. Introduced by John Sessions.
