Liszt & Mahler - T1227184081

Hungary's foremost music ambassadors continue the Liszt celebrations with two of the composer's more macabre pieces, separated by the floral intermezzo Mahler originally intended to be part of his First Symphony. That titanic work, first performed in Budapest under the baton of the composer, is guaranteed to raise the roof. Before the interval, in his second appearance this year, Dejan Lazic champions Liszt's powerfully original Totentanz, in which the Dies irae is reimagined as a virtuoso piano piece with orchestral support. Finish time: approx. 21:15Performer Dejan Lazic (piano). Company Budapest Festival Orchestra. Conductor Ivan Fischer.

BBC National Orchestra of Wales - T1537281571

The BBC National Orchestra of Wales returns under its French-born Associate Guest Conductor, François-Xavier Roth, for an all-French first half, coupling Rameau's sparky, quintessentially Baroque opera suite with Canteloube's sumptuous arrangements of traditional folk songs. After the interval, visual art provides the link between the Paris-based Argentinian composer Martin Matalon's subtly shaded Lignes de fuite - named after a drawing technique - and the rarely heard, and typically flamboyant, arrangement of Musorgsky's musical picture gallery that Proms founder-conductor Henry Wood made a few years before the more familiar version by Ravel. Finish time: approx. 21:10 with intervalConductor Francois-Xavier Roth. Performer Anna Caterina Antonacci (soprano). Company BBC National Orchestra of Wales.

BBC Symphony Orchestra - T0721513659

With its 98 players dispersed among the audience, Xenakis's Nomos gamma should make a stunning Proms piece, not least as the final drumrolls from its eight percussionists ricochet around the Arena. Both Aïs – a searing setting of ancient Greek texts by Homer and Sappho, with a wildly wide-ranging vocal line – and Rachmaninov's Stygian tonepoem, composed a century ago, confront the transience of life and the finality of death, while Shostakovich's 1945 Ninth seems almost to laugh off the horrors of war. A former New Generation Artist, percussionist Colin Currie also appears in our NGA 10th-Anniversary Weekend (PCM 7) and in Prom 33.Performer Leigh Melrose (baritone). Performer Colin Currie (percussion). Company BBC Symphony Orchestra. Conductor David Robertson.
