Mendelssohn - Elijah - T898674482

Mendelssohn's ever-popular Old Testament oratorio remains ripe for reassessment. We can be sure that Paul McCreesh will have re examined the work in what will be the culmination of a large-scale project like the one that led up to his revelatory 2009 Proms performance of Haydn's The Creation. Out go certain old-fashioned conventions; in come period instruments, a raft of enthusiastic choirs and a sensational line-up of soloists. There will be one interval. Finish time: approx. 21:50. Sung in EnglishPerformer Rosemary Joshua (soprano). Performer Sarah Connolly (mezzo-soprano). Performer Robert Murray (tenor). Performer Simon Keenlyside (baritone). Company Taplow Youth Choir. Company Ulster Youth Chamber Choir. Company Chetham's Chamber Choir. Company North East Youth Choir. Company Wroclaw Philharmonic Choir. Company Gabrieli Consort & Players. Conductor Paul McCreesh.

Czech Philharmonic Orchestra - T2072742060

Famed over decades, the Czech Philharmonic returns to the Proms with a three-part celebration of music closely associated with it, including Dvorak's radiant Eighth Symphony, Martinu's equally colourful and spontaneous final symphony and a luminous musical legend by Janacek. Joining Sir John Eliot Gardiner, who makes the third of his four Proms appearances (see also Proms Saturday Matinees 1 & 2 and Prom 75), Lars Vogt offers a contrasting impression of musical nationalism in Grieg's intensely Norwegian and everfresh concerto - before returning to play more Janacek tomorrow lunchtime. Finish time: approx. 21:20Conductor John Eliot Gardiner. Performer Lars Vogt (piano). Company Czech Philharmonic Orchestra.

Netherlands Wind Ensemble - T2136129556

The Netherlands Wind Ensemble, 50 this year, marks the 70th birthday of radical Dutch Minimalist Louis Andriessen and the 50th of his leading British pupil Steve Martland with performances of Andriessen's classic polemic De staat and Martland's jazz-rock 'dance fantasia' Beat the Retreat, commissioned by the BBC for its 1995 Purcell tercentenary celebrations. Another former pupil of Andriessen, Cornelis de Bondt creates an idiosyncratic death ritual in Doors Closed out of a fusion between the funeral march from Beethoven's 'Eroica' and Dido's Lament from Purcell's Dido and Aeneas. Two of tonight's works call for two or more pianos, in a nod to our Multiple Pianos celebration. There will be no interval.Company Netherlands Wind Ensemble. Conductor Lucas Vis. Conductor Bart Schneemann (2nd conductor).
