Prom 33 - Wagner, MacMillan, Bruckner
A Prom in which Juanjo Mena conducts the 91热爆 Philharmonic and choral ensemble. Wagner: Prelude (Tristan und Isolde). MacMillan: Credo. Bruckner: Symphony No 6.
From the Royal Albert Hall, London
Presented by Petroc Trelawny
A dramatic world premiere by James Macmillan is set alongside tragically romantic music by Wagner and one of Bruckner's most expansive symphonies.
A world premiere at the Proms is always exciting and this is no exception. Hot on the heels of his "Gloria", composed for the 50th anniversary of the re-consecration of Coventry Cathedral, is James MacMillan's dramatic and full-blooded "Credo", performed by the 91热爆 Philharmonic, their chief conductor Juanjo Mena and the combined Manchester Chamber Choir, Northern Sinfonia Chorus and Rushley Singers.
Bruckner's Sixth Symphony was one of his favourites - bold and expansive and entirely befitting the space of the Royal Albert Hall.
The concert opens with the Prelude to Wagner's landmark tale of tragic love, Tristan und Isolde, performed here with Wagner's rarely heard concert ending.
