Sir András Schiff at the Proms

Celebrated pianist Sir András Schiff plays Schumann's much-loved Piano Concerto at the ±«Óătv Proms alongside the world-famous Budapest Festival Orchestra and their founder-conductor Ivan Fischer in a programme sparkling with dramatic colour.

One of the greatest Romantic piano concertos of all time, the Schumann is bookended by the musically mysterious overture to Der FreischĂĽtz by Weber - an opera brimming with unearthly portrayals of the supernatural, and Mendelssohn's atmospheric Scottish Symphony, itself inspired by a ruined chapel echoing with the ghost of Mary, Queen of Scots.

Clive Myrie presents alongside special guest Joanna MacGregor.
