Grainger - T1757252868

Grainger is celebrated in a special Late Night sequence as star Northumbrian smallpiper Kathryn Tickell and friends take a fresh look at the prodigious activities of this wild colonial boy. A pioneering collector of folk music from around the globe and arguably the world's first crossover artist, Grainger explored new worlds and invented new sounds, by turns touching, funny and provocative. Special guests, including the distinguished English folk singer June Tabor, place his achievement in its folk-music context. There will be no interval. Finish time: approx. 23.30Performer June Tabor (singer). Group/Band Wilson Family. Company BBC Singers (men's voices). Company Kathryn Tickell Band. Company Northern Sinfonia. Conductor John Harle.

London Sinfonietta - T1848655941

The London Sinfonietta's Late Night Prom reunites the orchestra with its founder-conductor David Atherton. The two Stravinsky works were premiered in Venice during the 1950s and share the haunting, distilled musical language that the ever-evolving composer adopted in later years. Threni, receiving its first Proms performance, sets the Lamentations of Jeremiah in a quirky and intensely spiritual style, while Stravinsky's recasting of Bach's variations on the Christmas hymn 'Vom Himmel hoch' embellishes them in ever-changing instrumental colours. The original variations for organ open the programme. Finish time: approx. 23:10Conductor David Atherton. Company BBC Singers. Company London Sinfonietta. Performer Alizabeth Atherton (soprnao). Performer Hilary Summers (mezzo-soprano). Performer Alan Oke (tenor). Performer Andrew Kennedy (tenor). Performer David Wilson-Johnson (baritone). Performer John Tomlinson (Sir - bass). Performer Daniel Hyde (organ).

BBC National Orchestra of Wales - T0372651078

The hero of the 'Eroica' was at first Napoleon but ultimately became Beethoven himself, triumphing over the adversity of his deafness. Berlioz's extraordinary Symphonie also contains a funeral march and an apotheosis but, unlike the 'Eroica', it was designed to accompany a real funeral cortège for the heroes of the 1830 July Revolution; the 'funeral oration' itself was delivered as a sonorous trombone solo salvaged from Berlioz's abandoned opera Les francs-juges. The title of Michael Jarrell's new piece refers to a wake of a different kind - the trace a ship leaves in the water; it was written with tonight's three soloists in mind, and is conducted by the Swiss composer's compatriot: Thierry Fischer. Approx. finish time: 22:05Performer Emmanual Pahud (flute). Performer Francois Leleux (oboe). Performer paul Meyer (clarinet). Conductor Thierry Fischer.
