Organ Symphony

ΒιΆΉΤΌΕΔ Proms 2020

ΒιΆΉΤΌΕΔ Proms: Saint-Saens's Organ Symphony with Paavo Jarvi and the Orchestre de Paris in a programme that also includes works by French compatriot Berlioz plus Britten and Arvo Part.

ΒιΆΉΤΌΕΔ Proms: Paavo JΓ€rvi and the Orchestre de Paris continue our series of highlights from the Proms archive, beginning with Arvo PΓ€rt’s meditative Cantus in memoriam Benjamin Britten. Janine Jansen is the soloist in Britten’s Violin Concerto, written during the composer’s war-time years in New York. β€˜I feel so deeply about this piece… one experiences the incredible strength of it,’ Jansen has said.
The Mediterranean verve of Berlioz’s overture Le Corsaire and the shimmering weight of full orchestra and organ in Saint-SaΓ«ns’s Third Symphony complete a programme of introspective reflection and extrovert display.
Presented by Hannah French.
