Beethoven, Mahler - Part 1

20100903

BBC PROMS 2010

Live from the Royal Albert Hall, London

Presented by Andrew McGregor

Simon Rattle and his renowned Berlin Philharmoniker bring a feast of Austro-German classics to the Proms, in two concerts on successive nights, beginning with symphonies by Beethoven and Mahler - the youthful, precocious piece with which Mahler launched his symphonic odyssey, and Beethoven's punchy 4th Symphony, a work packed with drama beneath its sunny surfaces.

Beethoven: Symphony No. 4 in B flat major

Berliner Philharmoniker

Sir Simon Rattle, conductor

This Prom will be repeated on Monday 13th September at 2.00pm.

Elgar, M Berkeley

20110903

BBC PROMS 2011

Live from the Royal Albert Hall, London

Presented by Penny Gore

The BBC National Orchestra of Wales and Principal Guest Conductor Jac van Steen bring two dazzling concertos to the Proms. Canadian pianist Marc-Andr退 Hamelin displays his virtuosity in Rachmaninov's ever popular Rhapsody, and Proms featured organist David Goode plays Michael Berkeley's demanding concerto, which receives its London premiere. The programme includes two musical pictures: Elgar's Edwardian soundscape of Old London Town, and Kodကly's suite Hကry Jကnos, which brings to life the unlikely exploits of an old Hungarian hero.

Michael Berkeley had the cavernous space of Westminster cathedral in mind with his organ concerto, he was a choirboy there. A central theme is of fire, a force that cleanses and obliterates all in its path. The Royal Albert Hall, with its immense Henry Willis organ and generous acoustic should prove an ideal venue. A sense of ritual and religious theatre also comes from offstage trumpets, high in the gallery. Soloist David Goode has already delighted promenaders twice this season, in Janacek's Glagolitic Mass and Havergal Brian's Gothic Symphony. An exceptional talent, he remains undaunted by the challenges of the concerto.

Marc-Andr退 Hamelin has won great critical acclaim for his 'jaw dropping technique' and 'probing musicianship'. He's been a tireless advocate of less familiar concertos, and he also is a composer. Here he brings his formidable talents to bear on a great favourite of the piano repertoire. Rachmaninov's Rhapsody is one of the most brilliant works for piano and orchestra, though with an underlying sense of devilry.
