BBC Proms presents: French Night with the Orchestre National de France
Praised by the The New York Times for his ‘exquisite tone and virtuosity’, American violinist Randall Goosby makes his Proms debut in pioneering 18th-century composer Joseph Bologne’s graceful Violin Concerto in G major, Op. 8, and Chausson’s Poe`me, a passionate musical love letter.
Cristian Ma?celaru conducts the Orchestre National de France in a French- themed programme, including two orchestral masterpieces by Ravel – the colourful Rapsodie espagnole and the haunting ghost-waltz La valse – as well as Charlotte Sohy’s rhapsodic Danse mystique.
