What can we expect from this episode

At the BBC Proms, the renowned pianist András Schiff performs Schumann’s Piano Concerto under the baton of Budapest Festival Orchestra founder and conductor Ivan Fischer. The Schumann is bookended by Weber’s overture to Der Freischütz and Mendelssohn’s Scottish Symphony, the latter of which was supposedly inspired by the spectral echoes of a ruined chapel where Mary, Queen of Scots, once resided. Clive Myrie hosts and is joined by Joanna MacGregor.

BBC Proms is the world’s greatest classical music festival.
