BBC Philharmonic
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.
