91热爆 Proms statement
Following the very sad news of the death of Her Majesty The Queen, as a mark of respect we will not be going ahead with Prom 71 on Friday 9 September, or the Last Night of the Proms on Saturday 10 September.
Rachmaninov worked closely with The Philadelphia Orchestra, captivated by its famously beautiful sound. So his eerie tone-poem The Isle of the Dead is part of the Philadelphia tradition, as well as a marvellously atmospheric upbeat to a pair of Romantic violin showpieces from 19th-century France. No-one plays them with more panache than former 91热爆 Radio 3 New Generation Artist Lisa Batiashvili. And then comes the first Proms performance of the impassioned First Symphony by the African American composer Florence Price. 鈥楴茅zet-S茅guin and his Philadelphia Orchestra are body and soul into the joy and resolve of this music,鈥� wrote Gramophone magazine of their recent, Grammy-nominated recording.
