Afternoon Concert Proms 2011 Repeats

Oliver Knussen conducts Claire Booth (soprano) and the 91热爆 Symphony Orchestra. Honegger: Pacific 231; Pastorale d'ete. Berg: Der Wein. Castiglioni: Inverno in-ver. Debussy: La mer.

With Penny Gore.

Petroc Trelawny presents a typically thought-provoking programme from the 91热爆 Symphony Orchestra's Artist in Association, Oliver Knussen, showcasing pieces rarely heard in the concert hall alongside 20th-century classics.

All the composers are masters of orchestral colour, and each creates a unique and concentrated soundworld. Arthur Honegger's depictions of a steam locomotive and pastoral idyll are followed by Frank Bridge's quietly anguished Shakespearean scene of death by drowning (from Hamlet) and the splintered, wintry fluidity of Italian composer Niccol貌 Castiglioni.

Soprano Claire Booth (who made her professional debut in the music of Knussen) sings Berg's heady paean to the restorative powers of fermented grape juice. And the concert closes with Debussy's astonishing, inspirational evocation of shifting seas.

Honegger: Pacific 231
