Previous details associated with this item and date of change.

Date of change: 3 Jul 12 - T01187408830

Prom 21 - Aldeburgh World Orchestra

Work:: Prom 21 (S346)

Part of the BBC Proms.

Production:: Aldeburgh World Orchestra (T01187408830)

In the second of four appearances this season (see Proms 1, 36 & 37) Sir Mark Elder directs an orchestra of young musicians brought together from every continent. The programme begins with Britten's Sinfonia da Requiem, both a private memorial to his parents and a reaction to the developing menace of war. Next we sample Mahler's big-boned lyricism, an idiom Britten particularly esteemed. The world premiere of a BBC commission from a young composer to watch is followed by the iconic work whose unveiling provoked a scandal for Diaghilev and his Ballets Russes. Finish time approx. 22:05
