From the Royal Albert Hall. Featuring the Ä¢¹½¶ÌÊÓÆµ Symphony Orchestra under David Robertson. Stravinsky: Agon. Tchaikovsky: Concert Fantasia in G, Op 56 (Stephen Hough - piano).

From the Royal Albert Hall, London. Presented by Penny Gore.

The Ä¢¹½¶ÌÊÓÆµ Symphony Orchestra and pincipal guest conductor David Robertson complete the Proms's survey of Stravinsky's ballets with Agon. It is a dazzling set of 12 dances for as many dancers that the septuagenarian composer based on material taken from a 17th-century dance manual and re-energised using his own unique 20th-century viewpoint.

And Stephen Hough completes his Proms one-man piano marathon of Tchaikovsky's concertante works with the curiously neglected Concert Fantasia.
