Prom 8 – Invitation to the Dance

Part of the BBC Proms.

Dance – whether in the exotic pulse of Bart?k’s Dance Suite, the insistent Russian folk rhythms of Stravinsky’s The Firebird or the languorous ballet of Debussy’s faun – runs right through tonight’s Prom. Peter E?tv?s conducts his new violin concerto Alhambra – performed here by the work’s original soloist, award-winning German violinist Isabelle Faust.
