Details
In the second of its two Proms, the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra is conducted by its distinguished long-term associate and Honorary Member, Zubin Mehta, one of the rare recipients of the orchestra's coveted badge of honour, the Nikisch Ring. Together they reinvigorate Strauss's quintessentially quixotic set of 'fantastic variations on a theme of knightly character'. Brahms's final symphony also ends in a vast set of variations, his gloriously late-Romantic take on a Baroque-style passacaglia, using a theme borrowed from a Bach cantata. Approx finish time: 20:45. Broadcast Live on BBC Radio 3. There will be an interval.
