Prom 65: Mozart, Beethoven & R. Strauss by Mozart, Strauss, Beethoven, sam. 07 sept. 2019, Du (2019/2019), Chef d'orchestre Constantinos Carydis, Royal Albert Hall, Londres, Royaume-Uni

Dance and song run through this concert by Constantinos Carydis and the Deutsche Kammerphilharmonie Bremen. Arias by Mozart and Strauss are followed by Beethoven’s Symphony No. 7, famously described as ‘the apotheosis of the dance’. Greek coloratura soprano Danae Kontora makes her Proms debut with a sequence of Mozart and Strauss arias, while Mozart’s ‘Haffner’ Symphony is filled with operatic ornamentation and dramatic effects. The vitality of Beethoven’s Symphony No. 7 led to its being famously described by Wagner as ‘the apotheosis of the dance’.
