BBC Proms - Korngold’s Violin Concerto

Experience the BBC Proms like never before with the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra under the baton of Delyana Lazarova and the dazzling solo work of Alena Baeva on violin. The evening opens with Dobrinka Tabakova’s buzzing, fizzing fanfare *Orpheus’ Comet*, a homage to Monteverdi that electrifies the stage. Alena Baeva delivers an “utterly captivating” performance of Erich Wolfgang Korngold’s *Violin Concerto*, a work steeped in sweeping romance and passion, featuring themes from the film scores of *Another Dawn* (1937), *Anthony Adverse* (1936) and *The Prince and the Pauper* (1937). The concert then transitions to Sergei Prokofiev’s *Symphony No. 5*, a musical homecoming that showcases one of the composer’s most darkly lyrical slow movements. A symphony “on the greatness of the human soul” and a cinematic concerto collide in this widescreen orchestral soundscape, offering fans a thrilling and unforgettable musical journey.
