Bridge/Holt/Dupre & Saint-Saens - T01184323693

An Anglo-French evening launched by the greatest of the nature tone-poems written by featured composer Frank Bridge. Simon Holt's double concerto for clarinet and flugelhorn takes its inspiration from the fantastical beasts of Greek mythology. His solo instruments are drawn from different species, two distinct natures in one orchestral body. Marcel Dupré was a masterly executant who himself played Saint-Saëns's much loved 'Organ' Symphony at the Proms in 1935. Finish time: approx. 21:05Performer Ben Johnson (tenor). Performer Robert Plane (clarinet). Performer Philippe Schartz (flugelhorn). Performer Thomas Trotter (organ). Company BBC National Orchestra of Wales. Conductor Francois-Xavier Roth.

Deutsches Symphonie-Orchester Berlin - T477940502

Two key figures of Austria's flourishing early-20th-century opera scene open tonight's Prom. Pronounced a genius by Mahler at the age of 9, Erich Korngold showed a prodigious gift for melody that later bore fruit in his Hollywood film scores, which he happily plundered for his Violin Concerto. The 'Nocturne' of Schreker's operatic dream sequence - portraying the sleepless night of the opera's composer-hero Fritz - finds a counterpart in the two 'Night Music' movements of Mahler's Symphony No. 7. Ingo Metzmacher returns to the Proms after conducting Messiaen's epic opera Saint Francis of Assisi in 2008 to great critical acclaim. Finish time: approx. 22:10Conductor Ingo Metzmacher. Company Deutsches Symmphonie-Orchester Berlin. Performer Leonidas Kavakos (violin).

Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra - T0462243572

Fast-rising young Ukrainian maestro Kirill Karabits makes his Proms debut as the Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra's new Principal Conductor. The brilliant Lithuanian-born violinist Julian Rachlin returns to the Proms to play the tenderly lyrical, extrovertly virtuosic concerto by Tchaikovsky, to whose music and memory Stravinsky paid tribute in his Hans Christian Andersen-inspired ballet, The Fairy's Kiss. By contrast, Khachaturian's colourful Soviet-era ballet Spartacus celebrates the Thracian gladiator whose rebel slave army almost defeated the might of Rome. Approx. finish time: 21:50Performer Julian Rachlin (violin). Conductor Kirill Karabits.
