BBC Philharmonic - T02016672677

'Stress', 'Love', 'Play', 'Now!'. The movement titles of Parry's last symphony hint at hidden autobiographical significance, and celebrate a composer rarely noticed beyond the Last Night (see also Prom 31 and Prom 68). It is paired with the most famous autobiographical symphony of all, Tchaikovsky's heroic attempt to outrun and finally confront despair. At the centre of the BBC Philharmonic's first appearance this season is the early, Chopin-tinged piano concerto by another great Russian (whose works we feature this season), with much-admired Argentinian soloist Nelson Goerner. Finish time: approx. 21:45Conductor Vassily Sinaisky. Company BBC Philharmonic.

T02135978673 (PROM09)

E. J. Moeran's Symphony was written partly in Norfolk, partly in County Kerry, and seems to evoke the landscapes, seashores and folk idioms of both. Finzi's neo-Classical Grand Fantasia caps an unaccompanied and clearly Bach-inspired piano solo with a jaunty, finger-tapping Toccata. And we mark the 75th anniversary of Elgar's death with his Second Symphony, a nobly expansive exploration of past sorrows recalled and exorcised. Approx. end time: 22:05Music Moeran (Symphony in G minor - 45 mins). Music Finzi (Grand Fantasia and Toccata - 15 mins). Music Elgar (Symphony No 2 in E flat major - 55 mins). Performer Leon McCawley (piano). Company BBC Philharmonic. Conductor Vassily Sinaisky.

BBC Symphony Orchestra - T0215234900

A Proms reprise of a programme first given in 1958, featuring two German composers who managed to retain Classical poise in the face of burgeoning Romanticism. Mendelssohn’s Fourth Symphony celebrates the sounds and colours of Italy, while Brahms’s Second is the most ‘pastoral’ of his symphonies, a work of carefree high spirits. In between comes the colossal Second Piano Concerto with which Brahms blurs the boundaries between symhony and concerto; the soloist is Lars Vogt, whose reputation is similarly built on a mastery of the Classical repertoire. Mendelssohn’s spirited curtain-raiser is based on the Victor Hugo play in which the commoner Ruy Blas is forced to dishonour the Queen of Spain by winning her affections. Finish time approx. 22:05Performer Lars Vogt (piano). Company BBC Symphony Orchestra. Conductor Jiri Belohlavek. Music Mendelssohn (8mins)). Music Mendelssohn (28mins)). Music Brahms (48mins)). Music Brahms (40mins)).
