About This Event
The lure of the East runs through this Prom given by Maxim Emelyanychev and the Scottish Chamber Orchestra. French pianist and star of the Paris 2024 Olympics opening ceremony, Alexandre Kantorow is the soloist in Saint-Sa毛ns鈥檚 鈥楨gyptian鈥� Piano Concerto 鈥� a vivid musical travelogue, lively with chirping crickets and croaking frogs 鈥� while a selection from Rameau鈥檚 ballet Les Indes galantes offers sonic snapshots from Peru, Turkey, Persia and America. Fate knocks loudly at the door in Beethoven鈥檚 Fifth Symphony, answered with defiant musical optimism, but it鈥檚 Death who gets the final word in Jay Capperauld鈥檚 Bruckner鈥檚 Skull.
