The view from the stage as @alexdariescu tries out the piano at the Royal Albert Hall. I launch our @BBCProms Marathon Monday at 9.30 @BBCRadio3. Join me to hear cracking performances of Bruch’s famed Violin Concerto No 1 and Rachmaninov’s 2nd Symphony.
Câteva imagini de la concertul găzduit de Royal Albert Hall, unde pianista Alexandra Dăriescu a debutat în cadrul festivalului legendar BBC Proms, alături de The Hallé Orchestra din Manchester, sub conducerea dirijorului Kahchun Wong.
Un succes remarcabil, o bucurie pentru cei prezenți în prestigioasa sală londoneză.

Standing ovations for Alexandra Dariescu for her outstanding performance at Royal Albert Hall, as she became the first Romanian woman pianist to perform at @bbcproms.
Incredibly proud of you, dear Alexandra!
I'll be tuning in to the @bbcproms@BBCRadio3 at 6 pm for Alexandra Dariescu's performance of Nadia Boulanger's Fantaisie with the Hallé Orchestra and Kahchun Wong. I hoped to attend but it's sold out! @alexdariescu https://t.co/vPu80frCLI
Another sold-out night at the @bbcproms, this time courtesy of @the_halle and @kahchun_music. A blisteringly good Rachmaninov Second Symphony, and a delightful Proms debut from @alexdariescu. Now, time for a quick turnaround before 5,000 people join us for Graceland at 10.15pm.
A dream come true for @alexdariescu this evening. The first female Romanian pianist to perform at the @bbcproms and a proud moment for her former teacher to be there in the audience. ☺️
Huge congratulations to @alexdariescu for her stunning debut performance at the BBC Proms! History has been made, Alexandra Dariescu is t/ first 🇷🇴female pianist to appear at the Proms, performing Nadia Boulanger's "Fantasy for piano and orchestra" - a first at the Proms too.
This was a wondrous concert - congratulations @alexdariescu - I dashed home and staring scribbling ideas for a new piano work after hearing your performance of the Boulanger. Inspiring 👏👏👏
Congratulations to Alexandra Dariescu on becoming the first Romanian woman pianist to perform at the @bbcproms as she makes her Proms debut. Wishing her every success for next week's concert!

What an unforgettable evening!
Last night, the outstanding Warsaw Philharmonic Orchestra delivered a truly magnificent concert at a sold-out Cadogan Hall in London. The energy in the hall was electric from the very first note.
Pianist Alexandra Dariescu gave a breathtaking performance of Fryderyk Chopin’s Piano Concerto No. 2 in F minor, while the charismatic maestro Krzysztof Urbański led the orchestra with incredible passion and precision. The applause seemed endless.
A wonderful celebration of the orchestra’s 125th anniversary year and its 160th international tour!
Thank you to RPS Members who attended our AGM last night, and to speakers @raymondyiu, @classicjacko and @alexdariescu. Together we reflected on the past year with our community of music-lovers and music-makers, and discussed 'Britishness' in classical music today. (1/2)
French music @BBCProms highlights include Betsy Jolas, Berlioz Damnation of Faust, Nadia Boulanger's Fantaisie variée (with @alexdariescu, yay!) and Edith Canat de Chizy - an underrated composer https://t.co/pzGYmCYDqE
Thrilled for @alexdariescu who will have her debut at BBC Proms this year! First ever Romanian female to perform in the Proms' history. And 30 years since the last Romanian artist at the Proms, the legendary Radu Lupu. 5 August firmly in my diary.
We are delighted that composer @raymondyiu will join BBC Radio 3's Sam Jackson @classicjacko and pianist @alexdariescu at our 'In Conversation' event on 12 May to discuss 21st-Century identity and Britishness in classical music, alongside our AGM reflecting on the past year.(1/2)
