Britten Sinfonia perform at the BBC Proms in a day dedicated to the sounds of the piano. In this concert the orchestra explore works for two pianos. The concert opens with Fauré's delightful Dolly Suite, originally written for two players at one keyboard. Mozart's double concerto is full of intimacy, while Saint-Saëns's playful zoological suite contrasts with Lutosławski's virtuosic reworking of a famous Paganini Caprice. There's also a new work for two pianos by Anna Meredith, whose nation-hopping froms introduced her to Proms audiences last year.
