World Orchestra for Peace - T01547074272

In the first of his two appearances this season (see Prom 41) Valery Gergiev - who led a memorable Mahler cycle with the London Symphony Orchestra in 2007/8 - conducts a highlight of our celebrations marking the composer's 150th anniversary. Making its third Proms visit, the World Orchestra for Peace was conceived by Georg Solti as an assembly of first-rate players from around the world to promote peace. Mahler's Fourth Symphony continues the idealistic vision of its predecessor, performed last night, while the Fifth is an all-too-human journey through storm and stress, enshrining his love for his wife Alma in the heartrending Adagietto, and propelling glimpses of glory towards a stirring finale. Finish time: approx. 22:10Conductor Valery Gergiev. Company World Orchestra for Peace. Performer Camilla Tilling (soprano).

BBC National Orchestra of Wales - T01189337831

In the second of his two Proms with the BBC National Orchestra of Wales, Swiss-born Thierry Fischer introduces a new work by another of his compatriots: celebrating his 70th birthday this year, oboist-composer Heinz Holliger's punningly entitled (S)irató is an 'angry' lament for his teacher, the Hungarian composer Sándor Veress. We continue our Mendelssohn bicentenary celebrations with a pairing of his rarely heard First Symphony (completed when he was only 15, and later dedicated to the London Philharmonic Society) and his ever-popular Violin Concerto, played by Isabelle Faust in her Proms debut. To end, a selection from Prokofiev's richly Romantic Shakespearean ballet, Romeo and Juliet.Performer Isabelle Faust (violin). Conductor Thierry Fischer.
