Mozart, Knussen

20120730

Live from the Royal Albert Hall, London

Presented by Suzy Klein

The BBC Philharmonic and their Conductor Laureate Gianandrea Noseda open tonight's Prom with Mozart's famous Don Giovanni Overture and celebrate Oliver Knussen's 60th Birthday with his second symphony. Gillian Keith is the soloist giving stratospheric voice to this setting of poems by Georg Trakl and Sylvia Plath.

Mahler described his Seventh Symphony as 'light-hearted' and it is said to be the work that convinced Schoenberg of Mahler's greatness. Although one of his least performed symphonies its rich orchestration and imaginative use of unusual instruments, like guitar and mandolin, make it a compelling listen.

Mozart: Don Giovanni - Overture

Oliver Knussen: Symphony No.2

This Prom will be repeated on Monday 6th August at 2pm.

Beethoven: Symphony No. 6 in F major 'Pastoral

Francesco Piemontesi (piano)

Nicholas Collon (conductor)

The Aurora Orchestra staged a Proms first last year when it performed Mozart's Symphony No. 40 from memory. Now the dynamic young ensemble returns to continue this season's sequence of family-friendly matinees, giving Beethoven's 'Pastoral' Symphony the same direct, communicative treatment. It is paired with Australian composer Brett Dean's own homage to nature - a work, he explains, inspired by 'glorious birdsong, the threat that it faces, the loss, and the soulless noise that we're left with when they're all gone'. Former BBC Radio 3 New Generation Artist Francesco Piemontesi joins the orchestra for Mozart's late 'Coronation' Concerto, and the afternoon also features the premiere of a new commission from British composer Anna Meredith - also performed from memory by a mixed ensemble of Aurora Orchestra players and young musicians aged 15 - 23.

[This Prom will be repeated on Friday 7th August at 2pm].

Nicholas Collon conducts the Aurora Orchestra in music by Brett Dean and Mozart.

Rachmaninov: Spring, Women's And Men's Dances (aleko), Three Russian Songs

20110731

BBC PROMS 2011

Live from the Royal Albert Hall, London

Presented by Penny Gore

The third Proms Choral Sunday explores the unique sound world of Rachmaninov. Three contrasting short works are framed by his cantata, Spring, which he composed in 1902 just after his famous Second Piano Concerto, and the evocative choral symphony, The Bells, composed a decade later.

The Russian text of Spring tells of a man who harbours murderous thoughts towards his unfaithful wife during the winter, but is released from his anger and frustration by the return of spring. For The Bells, Rachmaninov turned to a Russian translation of poems by Edgar Allan Poe, and the work's four movements mirror the human life span from birth to death through the 'Silver Sleigh Bells', 'Mellow Wedding Bells', 'Loud Alarum Bells' and 'Mournful Iron Bells'.
