Celebrated pianist Sir András Schiff plays Schumann's much-loved Piano Concerto at the BBC Proms alongside the world-famous Budapest Festival Orchestra and their founder-conductor Ivan Fischer in a programme sparkling with dramatic colour. \n \nOne of the greatest Romantic piano concertos of all time, the Schumann is bookended by the musically mysterious overture to Der Freischütz by Weber - an opera brimming with unearthly portrayals of the supernatural, and Mendelssohn's atmospheric Scottish Symphony, itself inspired by a ruined chapel echoing with the ghost of Mary, Queen of Scots.\n \nClive Myrie presents alongside special guest Joanna MacGregor.
