Sibelius Finlandia (8 mins) Tchaikovsky Violin Concerto (35 mins) INTERVAL Rachmaninov Symphonic Dances (36 mins) Ravel La valse (12 mins) Janine Jansen violin Philadelphia Orchestra Charles Dutoit conductor About this event One of the world's great orchestras comes to the Proms with a programme of familiar classics that takes in Rachmaninov's bracing swansong, written for Philadelphia. A regular visitor in recent years, Janine Jansen joins the orchestra for the ever-popular Tchaikovsky concerto she recorded recently in fresh and unashamedly romantic style. These works are bookended by Sibelius's patriotic rallying cry and Ravel's apotheosis of the waltz, a piece whose unstoppable whirling may have been intended as a metaphor for the fate of European civilisation.
