Organ Recital - T0957534066

Picking up on the opening weekend's complete performance of The Mastersingers of Nuremberg and a number of other Wagner works during the season, charismatic organist Wayne Marshall turns a vividly coloured spotlight on the composer. The grandeur of the two opera overtures translates fittingly to the Royal Albert Hall's mighty instrument, while the airborne Valkyries may need to hold on to their horses even more tightly than usual during this particular flight. As one of the most fluent and ingenious of keyboard improvisers, Marshall turns his attention to Tristan and Isolde - forming an upbeat to tonight's performance of the opera's second act. Finish time: approx. 17:00Performer Wayne Marshall (organ).

Stravinsky/Schumann - T1694157813

We continue our Stravinsky ballet series with the zany Neapolitan comedy in which the composer's reworkings of rediscovered 18th-century scores (reputedly by Pergolesi) resulted in the creation of a whole new - and wholly modern - neo-Classical style. And we continue our bicentenary survey of Mendelssohn's symphonies with the one that quotes Luther's great Reformation hymn 'Ein' feste Burg ist unser Gott'. The young French-Canadian maestro Yannick Nézet-Séguin (Gergiev's successor at the Rotterdam Philharmonic and now Principal Guest Conductor of the London Philharmonic Orchestra) makes his Proms debut, as does the prize-winning American pianist Nicholas Angelich in Schumann's popular concerto. Approx end time: 21:45Music Stravinsky (Pulcinella - 40 mins). Music Schumann (Piano Concerto in A minor - 30 mins). Music Mendelssohn (Symphony No 5 in D major 'Reformation - 28 mins). Performer Nicholas Angelich (piano). Performer Karen Cargill (mezzo-soprano). Performer Andrew Staples (tenor). Performer Brindley Sherratt (bass). Company Scottish Chamber Orchestra.
