Benedetti Elschenbroich Grynyuk Trio - T680290307When not performing as a soloist, violinist Nicola Benedetti appears frequently as a chamber musician - most often with the trio she co-founded with pianist Alexei Grynyuk and cellist Leonard Elschenbroich. Here the three musicians pair Brahms's first and stormiest piano trio - its darkness belying the work's major key - with music by American-born composer Arlene Sierra. Inspired by the migration patterns of butterflies, her Butterflies Remember a Mountain is a work of pointillist detail and shimmering harmonies, painted in a sequence of delicate textural gestures.

Walton - Facade - T2122277770This year's focus on William Walton wouldn't be complete without his witty, genre-bending 'entertainment' Facade. Walton's first big success, the work sets poems by his friend and patron Edith Sitwell to create a sequence of colourful, whimsical and piquant numbers for chamber ensemble and reciters. The whimsical side of Shostakovich is also represented, in his Four Waltzes. Arranged from the composer's earlier film scores, they range from the good-humoured 'Spring Waltz', the faux na?f 'Waltz-Scherzo' and the charmingly kitsch 'Barrel Organ Waltz'. There will be no interval. Finish time approx. 14:00Company Nash Ensemble. Conductor John Wilson. | |

Dowland - T1491493955The laureate of the lute song, John Dowland is chiefly remembered for the burnished melancholy of 'Flow, my tears'. In the last Cadogan Hall concert of the 2013 Proms, tenor Ian Bostridge, lutenist Elizabeth Kenny and the viol consort Fretwork mark the 450th anniversary of Dowland's birth in a programme that explores his work at its saddest, most seductive, and most light-hearted.

Pierre-Laurent Aimard plays Debussy - T0377759504A meticulous interpreter and a brilliant technician, Pierre-Laurent Aimard has been a familiar face at the Proms in recent years, championing music from different periods. In the year of the 150th anniversary of Debussy's birth, as Aimard looks back to the early 20th century, his own clear and thoughtful playing style should serve to reconnect that quiet revolutionary with the music of the future.

Christian Tetzlaff & Lars Vogt - T180785600Featured artist Christian Tetzlaff is joined by his regular duo partner Lars Vogt for a recital that travels from Mozart's last major work for violin and piano, completed just before the premiere of Don Giovanni, to Bartok's First Violin Sonata, composed in 1921. The Hungarian composer, a Tetzlaff favourite, here stretches tonality in a sonata which provides a visceral, richly rewarding listening experience while pushing its players' techniques to their limits.
