Osmo Vanska and the Minnesota Orchestra at the Proms
The only American orchestra to play at the Proms in London this year was the Minnesota Orchestra. They wrapped up the second of their two Proms concerts with a powerful and exciting performance of Beethoven's Ninth Symphony. One critic called it "a Beethoven Ninth for our times." We'll hear the final two movements of the Ninth from that memorable Proms concert, as well as the last half of Anton Bruckner's massive Fourth Symphony. Music director Osmo Vanska led the performance.
