Bernstein on Broadway and Beyond - T0509183946Our Bernstein series continues with a recital of gems by Bernstein and his associates. The concert also features a new song by British-Lebanese composer Bushra El-Turk, written in response to Bernstein's witty recipe settings, La bonne cuisine.

Armida Quartet - T0795172098BBC Radio 3 New Generation Artists the Armida Quartet bring two friends and three composers to Cadogan Hall for the summer's seventh Proms Chamber Music concert. Either side of a new work for viola and piano written for Lise Berthaud and David Saudubray by Sally Beamish are chamber works by Schubert and Mozart: the former's quartet movement combining sobriety and vivacity, and the latter's C major String Quintet ? a work brimming with twists, interruptions and thrills.Company Armida Quartet. Performer Lise Barthaud (viola). Performer David Saudubray (piano). | |

Shostakovich Quintet - T965874697Eminent Russian pianist Elisabeth Leonskaja returns for her second Prom this season, joining the Emerson String Quartet for its Proms debut in a programme of great chamber works of the 20th century. From France, there's Debussy's 'Feux d'artifice' - a display of technical and aural fireworks for solo piano. From the Emerson's native America there's the original string quartet version of Barber's hauntingly beautiful Adagio for strings, and Russia is represented by Shostakovich's popular Quintet, with its darkly comic Scherzo and meditative, delicately melancholy Intermezzo. Finish time approx. 14:00 | |

Benjamin Grosvenor - T541080551He may only just have turned 22, but pianist Benjamin Grosvenor is already a Proms regular. The precocious British pianist returns for his first Proms Chamber Music concert, performing a mixed programme with a dance theme pulsing through it. He explores the waltz from the contrasting perspectives of Ravel and Liszt, exchanging bladed impressionism for dizzying virtuosity, while Mompou's Paisajes transports us to Barcelona, offering an evocative vision of a city from which the composer had been distanced for many years. The contrast of nocturnal scurrying and warm radiance suggested the title for Judith Weir's new commission, written specially for Grosvenor. There will be no interval. Finish time approx. 14:00Performer Benjamin Grosvenor (piano). | |

Maconchy & Brahms - T01486834891Nearly 21 years after her death, Elizabeth Maconchy remains one of 20th-century Britain's most alluring forgotten voices. International in outlook, she wrote music of great lyricism and subtlety, closer to the sound-world of Central Europe than to that of the English musical establishment. Today the Signum Quartet, one of BBC Radio 3's New Generation Artists, pairs Maconchy's Bartok-influenced String Quartet No. 3 with another work of meticulously compressed emotionalism, Brahms's F minor Piano Quintet. Norwegian pianist and fellow NGA Christian Ihle Hadland joins them. There will be no interval. Finish time: approx. 14:00 | |

Debussy & Schoenberg - T2118240089First a Debussy masterpiece of timeless grace, composed as the Great War raged about his ears. Another of his late sonatas was originally entitled ?Pierrot f?ch? avec la lune' (Pierrot angry with the moon) but Schoenberg's eerie Expressionist melodrama got there first. This is music through which Christine Sch?fer has been exploiting her virtuosity as a singing actress in a variety of settings. ?Every time I do this piece,' she says, ?I try something new.' There will be no interval. Finish time approx. 14:00Performer Christine Schafer (Sprechstimme). Conductor Martyn Brabbins. Company Nash Ensemble. | |

Lars Vogt - T0659804570Following his performance of Grieg's Piano Concerto with the Czech Philharmonic last night (Prom 58), German-born virtuoso Lars Vogt returns to pay his own tribute to Czech music with Janácek's last major piano work - its 'mistiness' captured in black-note harmonies and constantly shifting perspectives. By contrast, D894 is one of Schubert's more expansive sonatas, in which the easy-going tone is typically invaded from time to time by anguished intrusions but reasserts itself in a playful conclusion.Performer Lars Vogt (piano). | |
