Prom 48 (part 1): Classical Tectonics

20140822

Live from the Royal Albert Hall, London

Presented by Tom Service

The Iceland Symphony Orchestra make their BBC Proms debut with conductor Ilan Volkov performing music by T　masson, Schumann, Leifs and Beethoven.

Haukur T　masson: Magma (UK premiere)

Schumann: Piano Concerto in A minor Op. 54

8.30pm

Interval

8.50pm

Leifs: Geysir

Beethoven Symphony No. 5 in C minor Op. 67

Jonathan Biss (piano)

Ilan Volkov (conductor)

The Iceland Symphony Orchestra make their BBC Proms debut led by Music Director, the Israeli conductor Ilan Volkov. Together they bring works from two major Icelandic composers, both inspired by the power and drama of their native country's geology. There's a slow-growing, primal force to Leifs's Geysir that balances the shifting tectonics of T　masson's Magma. Virtuoso American pianist Jonathan Biss makes his second appearance this season with Schumann's Piano Concerto, and the concert closes with another central piece in the Classical repertoire: Beethoven's Fifth Symphony. Tom Service presents live.

Prom 48 repeat Thursday 4th September 1400-1630.

The Iceland Symphony Orchestra under Ilan Volkov in music by Haukur Tomasson and Schumann.

Prom 48 (part 1): Ravel, Matthias Pintscher And Stravinsky

20130818

Tine Thing Helseth, Marco Blaauw, BBC SSO and Matthias Pintscher live at the BBC Proms. Dance-inspired music by Stravinsky and Ravel alongside Pintscher's Double Trumpet Concerto.

Live from the Royal Albert Hall, London

Presented by Penny Gore

Ravel: Rapsodie espagnole

Matthias Pintscher: Chute d'退toiles (London premiere)

8.15pm Interval

8.35pm

Stravinsky: The Firebird

Tine Thing Helseth (trumpet)

Marco Blaauw (trumpet)

BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra

Matthias Pintscher (conductor)

Composer-conductor Matthias Pintscher combines his twin roles this evening, as he joins the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra to perform his own music alongside that of composers who have inspired him.

Proms featured artist Tine Thing Helseth joins Marco Blaauw as the pair of virtuoso soloists in the London premiere of Matthias Pintscher's Double Trumpet Concerto, Chute d'etoiles. A dramatic and multi-layered work, it takes inspiration from the sculptures of Anslem Kiefer and Stravinsky's Rite of Spring. The piece is painted in vivid colours, richly textured, and pushes the techniques of soloists and orchestra to shattering effect.

The concerto is sandwiched between two works which also combine a sense of drama with exquisite and masterfully orchestrated surfaces. Ravel's turn-of-the-century exploration of Spanish dance forms, Rapsodie espagnole and Stravinsky's ballet based on Russian folktales, The Firebird.

An edited version of this Prom will be broadcast on Wednesday 21st August at 2pm.

Wagner, Mahler, Beethoven - Part 1

20100821

BBC PROMS 2010

Live from the Royal Albert Hall, London

Presented by Rob Cowan

The young Montreal-born Yannick N退zet-S退guin has quickly become one of the names to watch among conductors. He brings the orchestra of which he is now Music Director to the Proms for a concert that includes one of Wagner's early operatic overtures and Beethoven's groundbreaking 3rd Symphony. Orchestra and conductor are joined by one of the world's leading baritones, Simon Keenlyside, for Mahler's poignant songs setting poems by Friedrich Rückert on the subjects of life, love and death.

Wagner: Tannh䀀user - Overture

Mahler: Rückert-Lieder

Simon Keenlyside, baritone

Rotterdam Philharmonic Orchestra

Yannick N退zet-S退guin, conductor

This Prom will be repeated on Tuesday 14th September at 2.00pm.

Weber, Mahler

20120818

Live from the Royal Albert Hall, London

Presented by Petroc Trelawny

Vladimir Jurowski conducts the London Philharmonic in one of his favourite symphonies, Tchaikovsky's Manfred. Plus Weber's Overture Der Freischütz and Mahler songs with Alice Coote.

The London Philharmonic and their Principal Conductor Vladimir Jurowski perform three works exploring the relationship between humankind, the natural and the supernatural. They begin with the Overture to Weber's opera Der Freischütz - the story of a marksman who makes a pact with the devil to improve his aim. Mezzo-soprano Alice Coote joins the orchestra for Mahler's first great song cycle, Lieder eines fahrenden Gesellen - Songs of a Wayfarer: the wayfarer is a young man disappointed in love (as Mahler himself was at the time), wandering the countryside in the attempt to find consolation or oblivion in nature. Byron's Manfred - inspiration for Tchaikovsky's Manfred Symphony - is in an even worse state. Tortured by guilt over the death of his beloved Astarte, he wanders in the Alps, encountering the local people (symbolic of the 'normal' human life he cannot attain) and supernatural beings - can he find ultimate redemption?
