Prom 29: Chopin, Franck, Saint-Saëns & Casella by Various, от (2014/2014), диригент Gianandrea Noseda, Royal Albert Hall, London, United Kingdom

Concert Information: Casella’s haunting ‘Heroic Elegy’, dedicated to the ‘unknown soldier’, forms part of a series of works in this year's Proms written in the shadow of the First World War. Former BBC Radio 3 New Generation Artist Benjamin Grosvenor, still only 22, returns for his fourth Proms appearance in Chopin’s lyrical but virtuosic First Piano Concerto; he is also the soloist in Franck’s Symphonic Variations – once a Proms favourite (performed here on 60 occasions), though it has been largely absent since the 1960s.
