Part of the BBC Proms. The Sydney Symphony returns to the Proms for the first time in 15 years, with its Music Director Vladimir Ashkenazy, a frequent guest here for more than 45 years. French-born pianist Hélène Grimaud, a Last Night soloist in 2008, plays the vivacious, blues-tinged concerto by Ravel. While the popular suite from Strauss's waltz-infused Der Rosenkavalier conjures up mid-18th-century Vienna, the intoxicating whirl of Scriabin's Symphony No. 3 relates to a cosmic dance between the human spirit and the universe.
