Israel Philharmonic Orchestra - T237543670

Zubin Mehta is back at the Proms with an orchestra he has been conducting for 50 years and which awarded him the title of Music Director for Life in 1981. He begins with one of his signature works, the groundbreaking but still traditional score Webern chose to call his Op. 1. The brilliant Gil Shaham played two concertos last season, stepping in at the eleventh hour to perform the Berg as well as the Barber. Tonight he returns with Bruch's most enduring contribution to the genre. After the interval we head south for Albeniz's Impressionistic evocations of Seville and Cadiz, followed by Rimsky Korsakov's vibrant orchestral original based on Spanish folk melodies. Finish time: approx. 21:30Performer Gil Shaham (violin). Company Israel Philharmonic Orchestra. Conductor Zubin Mehta.

Gustav Mahler Jugendorchester - T1670651996

The last of this season's youth orchestras was founded a quarter of a century ago by Claudio Abbado as the first to recruit from both Eastern and Western Europe. It now returns under Herbert Blomstedt, Conductor Laureate of the San Francisco Symphony, to play Bruckner's last, unfinished symphony, Mahler's youthful song-cycle - with star baritone Christian Gerhaher as the lovelorn wayfaring lad - and the vivid symphony that Hindemith shaped from his opera about artistic heroism. Finish time: approx. 21:55Conductor Herbert Blomstedt. Performer Christian Gerhaheer (baritone). Company Gustav Mahler Jugendorchester.

Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra - T01851786826

In the second of their two Proms, Mariss Jansons and his Dutch orchestra bring Haydn's 'Military' Symphony, composed on his second visit to London, in 1794–5, at a time when England and Holland were allied with Austria against republican France. According to an early review, the slow movement - graphically portraying 'the hellish roar of war increase to a climax of horrid sublimity!' - was greeted with repeated cries of 'Encore!' in which 'the Ladies themselves could not forbear' to join. Shostakovich's Tenth - one of the composer's most popular symphonies, and a favourite of tonight's conductor and orchestra - intertwines the composer's personal motto theme with that of a student with whom he was infatuated. Approx finish time: 21:30. Broadcast Live on BBC Radio 3. There will be an interval.Company Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra. Conductor Mariss Jansons.
