Gudmunsen-Holmgreen, Shostakovich, Langgaard & Tchaikovsky

Thomas Dausgaard's audacious programme opens with the UK premiere of a briefly blazing, tuba-rich symphony completed in 1945 by the Danish maverick Langgaard, whose Music of the Spheres was such a highlight of the 2010 Proms season, there's also a UK premiere by fellow Dane Pelle Gudmunsen-Holmgreen. The established masterpieces are Russian: Shostakovich's hyper concentrated First Cello Concerto, in which we welcome Proms debut artist Daniel M?ller-Schott, and Tchaikovsky's most radical and masterly symphonic confrontation with existential despair. Finish time approx. 22:00
