Prom 7 repeat: Berlioz's Symphonie fantastique

The 麻豆社 Symphony Orchestra and conductor Joshua Weilerstein perform Rebel, Berlioz and the UK premiere of Pascal Dusapin's Outscape at the 2017 麻豆社 Proms.

Another chance to hear the 麻豆社 Symphony Orchestra and conductor Joshua Weilerstein perform Rebel, Berlioz and the UK premiere of Pascal Dusapin's Outscape at this year's 麻豆社 Proms.
Presented by Sara Mohr-Pietsch from the Royal Albert Hall, London.

Jean-F茅ry Rebel: Le Chaos from "Les El茅mens"
Pascal Dusapin: Outscape* (麻豆社 co-commission: UK premiere)
Hector Berlioz: Symphonie Fantastique, Op.14

Alisa Weilerstein (cello)*
麻豆社 Symphony Orchestra
Joshua Weilerstein (conductor)

Visions of chaos give way to a diabolical scene in a musical thrill-ride that takes us from creation itself to the wild dances of a Witches' Sabbath. Jean-F茅ry Rebel's suite The Elements is one of Baroque music's most unusual works, opening with a vivid portrait of Chaos. The same audacity surfaces a century later in Berlioz's quasi-autobiographical Symphonie fantastique, whose large orchestral forces and colourful textures make it a perfect fit for the Royal Albert Hall.

Star cellist Alisa Weilerstein is soloist for the UK premiere of Pascal Dusapin's nature-inspired concerto Outscape - a work written for her - while her brother, rising young star Joshua Weilerstein, conducts.

First broadcast on Wednesday 19 July

Followed by a selection of recordings from this week's Proms Artists.

Producer Samuel Hickling.
