The Tallis Scholars - T01689155027

Who better to mark the 400th anniversary of the death of Tomás Luis de Victoria than the Tallis Scholars, long established under conductor Peter Phillips as among the world's finest interpreters of Renaissance polyphony? Celebrating a composer who featured in their very first Proms appearance in 1988, the focal point tonight is the magisterial Office for the Dead of which they made a much-praised recording some years ago. The Spanish master's exceptional expressive charge is achieved with a directness of musical means which sets his work apart from that of contemporaries active in England and Italy. Comparisons have been drawn with the equally intense religious paintings of Velázquez and El Greco. This promises to be a moving and evocative Late Night experience. There will be no interval. Finish time: approx. 23:15Company The Tallis Scholars. Conductor Peter Phillips.

In his 50th-birthday year, George Benjamin directs one of the UK's foremost new music ensembles.

Finish time: approx. 23:30Conductor George Benjamin. Company Birmingham Contemporary Music Group. Performer Claire Booth (soprano).

BBC Philharmonic - T523020779

In the first of their two Proms together, the BBC Philharmonic and its Chief Conductor Gianandrea Noseda are joined by the brilliant young Scottish bassoonist Karen Geoghegan, who was a popular runner-up in BBC Two's Classical Star in 2007 and here makes her Proms debut in Mozart's most unjustly neglected concerto. We continue our survey of the complete Stravinsky ballets with the 'featherweight and sugared' score he agreed to write for a 1944 Broadway revue (for a fee of ,000 for 15 minutes, he boasted) and finished on the day of the liberation of Paris. And the concert ends with Mahler's powerfully, and perhaps prophetically, tragic Sixth Symphony, a record of one man's heroic struggle against the repeated hammerblows of fate. Aprox. finish time: 22:10Performer Karen Geoghegan (bassoon). Conductor Gianandrea Noseda.
