Star pianist Isata Kanneh-Mason makes her solo Proms debut with Prokofiev鈥檚 thrilling Third Piano Concerto. At just 27 years old, Isata delights in this fiendish work, full of rhythm and romance with rhapsodic bursts of melodic spontaneity.
Also tonight, Tchaikovsky鈥檚 magnificent fifth symphony which pierces the heart with a stunning exploration of fate. It was a theme that Tchaikovsky grappled with throughout his life, and here that famous horn solo wavers constantly between sorrow and joy, as the composer navigates his own emotions.
