Budapest Festival Orchestra

Hungary's leading orchestra returns to the Proms, this time with Leonidas Kavakos, the soloist in Bartók's Second Violin Concerto, which combines breathtaking virtuosity with passionate lyricism. Prokofiev wrote his klezmer-tinged overture in New York in 1919 for a group of Jewish refugees who had all been fellow-students of his in St Petersburg; his 1934 arrangement, for a Haydn-sized band, was made two years before his return to the USSR. Dvorák's most darkly dramatic and passionate symphony, commissioned by the Philharmonic Society of London and premiered under its auspices in 1885, has remained especially popular with UK audiences ever since. Approx finish time: 21:10. Live on BBC Radio 3
