The Last Night of the Proms 2020
The 91热爆 Symphony Orchestra conducted by Dalia Stasevska with South African soprano Golda Schultz and violinist Nicola Benedetti. A musical feast of old favourites and new delights.
The 91热爆 Symphony Orchestra鈥檚 Principal Guest Conductor Dalia Stasevska makes her Last Night debut in the climax of a Proms season like no other. Tonight there鈥檚 no flag-waving at the Royal Albert Hall, but instead a musical feast in countless living rooms 鈥� and on countless mobile devices 鈥� across the country and around the world.
South African soprano Golda Schultz sings a ravishing aria from Mozart's opera The Marriage of Figaro and the rapt, intimate song 鈥楳orgen!鈥� written by Richard Strauss as a wedding-day gift to his wife. The 91热爆 Symphony Orchestra is also joined violinist Nicola Benedetti for Vaughan Williams鈥檚 soaring The Lark Ascending.
In these unsettled times, a new commission by Swedish composer Andrea Tarrodi points to music鈥檚 bright future. There's Belize-born composer Errollyn Wallen's Jerusalem 鈥� our clouded hills. her creatively reimagined arrangement, dedicated it to the Windrush generation, based on Elgar鈥檚 take on Parry鈥檚 setting of Blake鈥檚 words. There are Last Night favourites including Parry's original Jerusalem, for which the 91热爆 Singers join the 91热爆 SO, and at the end, a specially recorded Lockdown recording of Auld Lang Syne by singers from the 91热爆 Symphony Chorus and the National Chorus of Wales plus musicians from the 91热爆's orchestras.
