Sir Charles Mackerras revives the spirit of the Proms Viennese Night, once an annual fixture, with a variety of fleet-footed Strauss-family classics. In the first half, the accent is German rather than Austrian, continuing the season's Schumann bicentenary celebrations. Here, the probing and sensitive Christian Zacharias is the soloist in Schumann's Piano Concerto, whose finale contains a buoyant waltz. Broadcast live on BBC Radio 3
