Weekend of July 24, 2010
A pair of Manfreds, from the Proms
The BBC Proms is a massive summer music festival in London, with concerts every night for eight weeks at the Royal Albert Hall. We'll hear highlights from a concert this past week: 34 year-old Vasily Petrenko conducting the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic in a performance of Schumann's Manfred Overture, and the final movement from Tchaikovsky's Manfred Symphony. (Both works inspired by the tragic hero of Lord Byron's romantic poem, Manfred.)
