After an âextraordinaryâ Proms debut last season, rising-star conductor Klaus MĂ€kelĂ€ is reunited with sensational pianist Yuja Wang for Rachmaninovâs glittering Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini â its mercurial moods and technical demands a tour de force for any soloist. American baritone Thomas Hampson joins forces with the ±«Óătv Symphony Orchestra and Chorus for Waltonâs biblical blockbuster Belshazzarâs Feast â a choral symphony with an epic impact. Orchestral colour is also on display in Jimmy LĂłpez Bellidoâs PerĂș negro â a vibrant homage to the songs, dances and traditions of Afro-Peruvian music.
