2022 - 11: Elgar's Cello Concerto

Eva Ollikainen conducts the BBC Philharmonic in a Prom featuring three composers and three unique responses to the landscapes surrounding them.

Elgar's much-loved cello concerto, rising from the autumnal woodlands of Sussex and performed by soloist Kian Soltani sits alongside Sibelius's mighty Second Symphony – a musical national awakening in the composer's homeland of Finland.

A world premiere opens the concert, a brand new commission from Anna Thorvaldsdottir titled, its craggy, elemental soundscape reminiscent of her native Iceland.

Presenter Petroc Trelawny is joined by special guests.
