Smetana, Prokofiev & Dvorak - T01892111432

After last year's sensational complete Ma vlast comes Smetana's autobiographical E minor quartet, in George Szell's orchestration, another first for the Proms. Its finale is suddenly interrupted by a graphic illustration of the onset of deafness, a sustained high E, here on piccolo as well as violin, imitating the tinnitus that afflicted the composer. By contrast Prokofiev's concerto is one of his magical fairy-tale pieces, championed tonight by Proms debut artist, Vadim Gluzman. Dvorak's dark, passionate Seventh Symphony was commissioned by the Philharmonic Society of London, the composer himself crossing the Channel to direct the premiere. Finish time approx. 21:40Performer Vadim Gluzman (violin). Company BBC Symphony Orchestra. Conductor Jin Belohlavek.

BBC Symphony Orchestra - T202110087

Continuing our Schumann symphony cycle in the bicentenary of the composer's birth, the Third is the most pictorial, evoking by turns a beer garden by the Rhine and the Gothic magnificence of Cologne Cathedral. A century later came Bernd Alois Zimmermann's witty Rhine-Church Festival Dances, celebrating the same German region. Stockhausen's festive overture from 1977 opens the programme, which also features a trio of recent British works. Finish time: approx. 22:05Conductor Oliver Knussen. Company BBC Symphony Orchestra. Performer Leila Josefowicz (violin).
