Mozart & Bruckner - T1451805628In a previous life, as the youngest-ever concertmaster of the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra, tonight's conductor (making his Proms debut in that role) played almost all the Bruckner symphonies under some of the great interpreters of an older generation. More recently, at the helm of this versatile Dutch radio orchestra, he has been preparing and recording his own cycle to great acclaim. The Eighth remains a particular challenge, one of the most momentous 'darkness to light' journeys in the whole symphonic repertoire. Before the interval, a Proms debut from the quietly iconoclastic French pianist David Fray, who has already collaborated on disc with van Zweden in the imposing concerto he performs tonight. Finish time: approx. 22:05Performer David Fray (piano). Company Netherlands Radiio Philharmonic Orchestra. Conductor Jaap van Zweden. | |

Royal Philharmonic Orchestra - T720394956Iconic pianist Martha Argerich returns to the Proms to play both Ravel's jazzy G major Concerto (its blue-note harmonies coloured by the composer's visits to Harlem and Hollywood) and Prokofiev's one-movement Concerto No.1 (the 21-year-old's precocious mix of wrong-note modernism, percussive rhythms and post-Romantic rhapsody). Musorgsky's musical memorial to a dead painter friend was known mainly in its original solo piano form before Ravel added the colours of his unrivalled orchestral imagination. In the International Year of Astronomy, Claude Vivier's intriguing exploration of the echoing vastnesses of outer space is brought to the UK by Charles Dutoit, who conducted its 1980 premiere in Montreal. Approx finish time: 21:35. Broadcast Live on BBC Radio 3. There will be an interval.Performer Martha Argerich (piano). Company Royal Philharmonic Orchestra. Conductor Charles Dutoit. | |
