Handel - Rinaldo - T01868515745

Semi-staged; sung in Italian. Glyndebourne Festival Opera makes its annual Proms visit with Robert Carsen's new production of Rinaldo, the latest in the company's distinguished line of Handel stagings, not least the sensational Julius Caesar also seen at the Proms in 2005. Rinaldo is the work with which Handel made his London debut (exactly 300 years ago), an Italian opera set during the First Crusade. Out to impress, the composer assembled a score of great vitality and colour. Period-music specialist Ottavio Dantone conducts a strong cast led by Sonia Prina in the title-role of the heroic crusader with Sandrine Piau as his beloved Almirena. There will be two intervals of 20 minutes. Finish time: approx. 22:25Performer Sonia Prina (contralto - Rinaldo). Performer Varduhi Abrahamyan (mezzo-soprano - Goffredo). Performer Tim Mead (counter-tenor - Eustazio). Performer Sandrine Piau (soprano - Almirena). Performer Brenda Rad (soprano - Armida). Performer Luca Pisaroni (bass-baritone - Argante). Performer William Towers (counter-tenor - A Christian Magician). Company Glyndebourne Festival Opera. Company Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment. Conductor Ottavio Dantone.

BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra - T0654087545

Edinburgh-born Donald Runnicles returns with the BBC Scottish SO, of which he becomes Chief Conductor this autumn. Richard Strauss's outsize orchestral hymn to domestic harmony not only reveals the secrets of the marital bedroom but throws in both the baby and the bathwater too. Radio 3 New Generation Artist Shai Wosner - who made his Proms debut in 2003 playing Mozart's Concerto for three pianos with Saleem Abboud Ashkar (Prom 69) alongside Daniel Barenboim and the West-Eastern Divan Orchestra (Prom 48, Prom 49 & Prom 50) - returns to make his solo debut in Mozart's turbulently clouded D minor Concerto. And John Adams's 1996 teaser pays tribute to the wit and wisdom of the Russian musical polymath Nicolas Slonimsky. Approx finish time: 21:40. Broadcast Live on BBC Radio 3.Performer Shai Wosner (piano). Company BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra. Conductor Donal Runnicles.
