Prom 10 - BBC Philharmonic
Work:: Prom 10 (S339)
Part of the BBC Proms.
Production:: BBC Philharmonic (T01827616589)
Yan Pascal Tortelier returns to the Manchester-based BBC Philharmonic, of which he is Conductor Laureate, for a programme that includes the first public performance of Arnold Bax’s In memoriam, written in memory of Patrick Pearse, a leader of the failed Irish Easter Rising in 1916. The piece was only recently discovered to have been orchestrated and shows Bax at his most inventive. Vaughan Williams’s Fourth (which he dedicated to Bax) is one of his most powerful symphonies, showing a very different side to the composer from the serene, pastoral idiom with which he is often associated. And between these two British works, the first of Rachmaninov’s four piano concertos. At its heart lies a slow movement of great beauty - a poetic gift for the astoundingly talented Yevgeny Sudbin, making his Proms debut. Finish time approx. 21:25
