Prom 16 - Berlioz, Faure, Dusapin, Stravinsky

Afternoon Concert Proms 2011 Repeats

A Prom in which Thierry Fischer conducts the ±«Óătv NOW. Berlioz: Overture (Le corsaire). Faure: Pavane. Dusapin: String Quartet No 6. Stravinsky: The Firebird.

With Louise Fryer.

A second chance to hear a programme from the 2011 ±«Óătv Proms featuring French music, performed by the ±«Óătv National Orchestra of Wales under Principal Conductor Thierry Fischer.

Berlioz's dramatic Corsaire overture and Fauré's elegant Pavane preface the UK premiere of a new quartet concerto by Pascal Dusapin. Stravinsky's blazing Firebird, premiered in Paris for Diaghilev's Ballets Russes, completes the programme.

Dusapin (b.1955) is one of the leading composers in France today. His new quartet, written for the Arditti Quartet, uses orchestral forces to expand the territory of the soloists. Dusapin explores the relationship between the orchestra and soloists, with musical ideas migrating from the quartet to the orchestral forces behind.
