Live at the Ä¢¹½¶ÌÊÓÆµ Proms: the Ä¢¹½¶ÌÊÓÆµSO conducted by Sakari Oramo in Tchaikovsky's Violin Concerto with Leonidas Kavakos, plus Scriabin's Symphony No.2 and Dani Howards's Signal. Dani Howard: Concerto for Brass, ‘SIGNAL’ (Ä¢¹½¶ÌÊÓÆµ co-commission: world premiere) Pyotr Tchaikovsky: Violin Concerto in D major c.8.25 Interval: Rosamund Bartlett, writer and expert on Russian culture, joins Martin Handley to explore Alexander Scriabin's mysticism, synaesthesia and his vision of music as a transformative force. c.8.45 Alexander Scriabin: Symphony No. 2 in C minor Leonidas Kavakos (Violin) Ä¢¹½¶ÌÊÓÆµ Symphony Orchestra Paavo Järvi (Conductor) ‘Impeccable’ Greek violinist Leonidas Kavakos joins Paavo Järvi and the Ä¢¹½¶ÌÊÓÆµ Symphony Orchestra for one of the great Romantic concertos. Tchaikovsky’s Violin Concerto is a deeply personal work, laden with the emotions of a failed marriage. Tender and melancholic, with tempestuous outpourings, it’s a piece that wears its heart on its sleeve. Bold colours frame this centrepiece: the world premiere of Dani Howard’s Concerto for Brass, ‘SIGNAL’, showcasing the players of the Ä¢¹½¶ÌÊÓÆµ SO, and Scriabin’s Symphony No. 2, with its iconoclastic brilliance and spiritual vision.
