Nelson Freire (piano); BBC SO, Lionel Bringuier
BelAir BAC079 (DVD), BAC479 (blu-ray)
It was a bold idea to invite this young French conductor to the BBC Proms, and surely madness to film the concert in high definition...? Well thank goodness the BBC and innovative label BelAir took the chance, as this is a model of filmed music-making. His rapport with the orchestra (and with soloist Nelson Freire, here on scintillating form) is immediately evident, as is the imagination and flair he brings to each piece. Thoroughly recommended for anyone willing to re-experience a tremendous concert in the comfort of their own home.
