After Mozart's Prague Symphony, a marvel of the Viennese Classical period, the American pianist, Emanuel Ax, joins the orchestra for a light hearted occasional piece by Strauss and Bach's most famous keyboard concerto. The LPO's concert ends with one of the greatest tone poems in the orchestral repertoire.

[Eine Alpensinfonie]

During the interval Sara Mohr-Pietsch plays movements from Bach's cantatas, Wir müssen durch viel Trübsal in das Reich Gottes eingehen, BWV 146 and Ich habe meine Zuversicht, BWV 188. which he later adapted and transcribed for his Keyboard Concerto in D minor.

Do we actually believe this? It's either the performers or the technicians who "play" the music. The presenter does very little.
I could be wrong. SM-P may well be sitting at the BBC Steinway and performing, in which case, I apologise without reservation.

Sparkling performances of the Burleske and BWV 1052 from Ax, even if the latter was an anachronism.

The impromptu da capo repeat of the Tod und Verklarung didn't seem to throw the orchestra unduly. I trust the miscreant was duly thrown out of the hall.

I missed the broadcast... which 'miscreant'?

we were told that someone's "personal alarm" went off a few minutes in - the person left to a round of applause
still a day left to catch this concert, it got very good write-ups
