Brahms & Schumann - T1248608977

Angela Hewitt picks up the Brahms thread from the early evening Prom and launches this Late Night Prom that takes in an unjustly neglected score by Brahms's mentor, Robert Schumann, before observing the composer through the prism of an admirer, Arnold Schoenberg. Andrew Manze, conducting his first Prom as Associate Guest Conductor of the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra, sees Brahms as a misunderstood figure, full of warmth. He will bring his own insights to an increasingly popular arrangement in which Schoenberg incorporates some surprising 20th-century effects. Don't miss the Gypsy-style finale! There will be no interval. Finish time: approx. 23:15Performer Angela Hewitt (piano). Company BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra. Conductor Andrew Manze.

Rotterdam Philharmonic Orchestra - T1229047151

Making its first Proms appearance with its new young Music Director, the Rotterdam Philharmonic continues the season's Wagner series with the sweeping overture to one of his early epic dramas. They are joined by one of Britain’s most sought-after singers in Mahler’s affecting selection of Rückert poems on the subjects of life, love and death. Initially dedicated to Napoleon (until he declared himself Emperor), Beethoven's 'Eroica' Symphony made a lasting revolutionary impact of its own, sustaining its heroic drama within a new scale of dramatic expression. Finish time: approx. 21:35Conductor Yannick Nezet-Seguin. Company Rotterdam Philharmonic Orchestra. Performer Simon Keenlyside (baritone).

T01453852763 (PROM09)

It was in 1999 in Weimar, Germany, that the Israeli pianist-conductor Daniel Barenboim and the Palestinian-American cultural historian, the late Edward Said, jointly founded the West-Eastern Divan Orchestra - a unique ensemble bringing together young players from both sides of the Arab-Israeli divide in what Barenboim insists is not 'an orchestra for peace' but 'an orchestra against ignorance', and which is now universally acclaimed as simply a superb orchestra, however you label it. To open our weekend celebrating the Divan's 10th anniversary, we return to its roots in Weimar, where, as the city's music director for over a decade, Liszt championed the works of both Wagner and Berlioz. Approx finish time: 21:15. Broadcast at 19:30 on BBC Four and live on BBC Radio 3.Company West-Eastern Divan Orchestra. Conductor Daniel Barenboim.
