Copland/Bax/Barber/Bartok & Prokofiev - T0939075442

Tonight's composers have something, or someone, in common: Boston Symphony Orchestra conductor Serge Koussevitzky. Copland's Fanfare was later incorporated into his Third Symphony, written for the Koussevitzky Music Foundation, which also commissioned Bartok's Concerto for Orchestra. Bax's Second Symphony was dedicated to the conductor, who also championed Barber's music in the 1940s. The original version of Prokofiev's Fourth Symphony was commissioned for the BSO's 50th anniversary and premiered under Koussevitzky. Finish time: approx. 22:10Performer Yuja Wang (piano). Company Royal Philharmonic Orchestra. Conductor Andrew Litton.

BBC Singers - T1979053225

Estonian composer Arvo Pärt emerged on to the landscape of later-20th-century music after making a decisive break from his former modernist ways and building a new language from scratch, with the simplest musical elements. The pure, hypnotic atmosphere of his slowly shifting harmonies have won him a place among the key figures of so-called 'spiritual minimalism' – with a style that appears rooted in ancient religion while also sounding fresh and personal. Poised between the Lutheran and Catholic traditions, the austere yet serene St John Passion is sure to create a special aura in this ideal Late Night Prom setting. Finish time: approx. 23:30Conductor David Hill. Company Endymion. Company BBC Singers. Performer Andrew Kennedy (Pilate). Performer Brindley Sherratt (Jesus). Performer Iain Farrington (organ).

Philharmonia Orchestra - T01647390510

Esa-Pekka Salonen makes his first Proms appearance as the Philharmonia's new Principal Conductor. The Labèque sisters return for their third and final appearance this season (see Prom 1 & Prom 32), to celebrate the 70th birthday of the radical Dutch composer Louis Andriessen with the UK premiere of his new concerto - partly inspired by a Tom and Jerry cartoon, partly by a hardcore brand of house music - which they and Salonen premiered in Los Angeles in January. (Andriessen's 1970s classic De staat is performed in Prom 58.) Dance drives the rest of the programme, from Falla's fiery flamenco vision of a midnight exorcism to Ravel's magical fairy-tale evocations and the relentless crescendo of his Boléro. Approx finish time: 21:30Conductor Esa-Pekka Salonen. Performer Katia Labeque (piano). Performer Marielle Labeque (piano).
