BBC Proms 2026: Korngold’s Violin Concerto at the Royal Albert Hall | Live reviewCristiana Ferrauti BBC Proms 2026: Korngold's Violin Concerto at the Royal Albert Hall Highlights Orpheus' CometLess than a year after being appointed Principal Conductor of the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra, Delyana Lazarova delivers a well-executed concert in this season of the BBC Proms, with a programme of works rich in cross-references and reminiscences. Atmospheric horns are gradually taken over by violins that seem to vibrate in the air, a bee-like humming sonority. Tabakova, who is present in the hall, is enthusiastically greeted at the close of the performance. Alena Baeva steps on stage and takes up her violin straight away, opening Korngold’s Violin Concerto in D Major with a slow flurry spanning two octaves, establishing the measured, pensive mood of the first movement, Moderato. ★ ★ ★ ★ ★Cristiana FerrautiPhotos: Mark AllanFor further information and future events, visit BBC Proms 2026: Korngold’s Violin Concerto’s website here.
