Production Changes

Previous details associated with this item and date of change.

Date of change: 20 May 14 - T1137216527

Prom 29 - Chopin, Franck, Saint-Saens & Casella

Work:: Prom 29 (S354)

Part of the BBC Proms.

Production:: Chopin, Franck, Saint-Saens & Casella (T1137216527)

Casella's haunting 'Heroic Elegy', dedicated to the 'unknown soldier', continues our series of works written in the shadow of the First World War. Former BBC Radio 3 New Generation Artist Benjamin Grosvenor, still only 22, returns for his fourth Proms appearance in Chopin's lyrical but virtuosic First Piano Concerto; he is also the soloist in Franck's Symphonic Variations - once a Proms favourite (performed here on 60 occasions), though it has been largely absent since the 1960s. Saint-Saens's 'Organ' Symphony continues the French theme. 'With it I have given all I could give,' the composer observed. 'What I did I could not achieve again.' Finish time approx. 21:10
