| Royal Albert Hall, London, London, United Kingdom Sunday 5-Sep-10 02:30pm Prom 67 - Last Night of the Proms 1910 To open our daylong tribute to Proms founder-conductor HenryWood, we present his own Last Night programme from a century ago – so producing the first Proms season ever to feature two Last Nights. While this parade of short popular classics truly recalls Promenade concerts of another age, we also continue Wood’s commitment to new works – what Wood called his ‘novelties’. So one short cello piece from the original 1910 programme is this afternoon replaced by a brand-new work, based on a movement from the unfinished Cello Concerto by Vaughan Williams. Mussorgsky, Modest Petrovich (1839-1881), Rayok (The Peep Show) (orch. Henry Wood) Bizet, Georges (1838-1875), L’Arlésienne (excerpts) Matthews, David (b. 1943), Dark Pastoral – based on the surviving fragment of the slow movement of Vaughan Williams’s Cello Concerto (1942) (BBC commission: world première) Dvořák, Antonín (1841-1904), Humoresque in G flat major, Op. 101 No. 7 (orch.

| Royal Albert Hall, London, London, United Kingdom Saturday 11-Sep-10 07:30pm Prom 76 - Last Night of the Proms 2010 Tradition meets high jinks as Jiří Bělohlávek conducts his second Last Night, while the spirit of Henry Wood presides, as always, over the grand finale of the Proms. Renée Fleming lends her lustrous soprano to music by Strauss, DvoΣák and Smetana, former Radio 3 New Generation Artist Maxim Rysanov gives Tchaikovsky’s popular cello variations a new voice, and loyal Prommers can spot the last traces of the season’s Wood, Parry, Wagner, Rodgers and Hammerstein and opera themes. A festive new piece by Jonathan Dove opens the evening; a contemporary hornpipe forms an upbeat to anniversary composer Arne’s Rule, Britannia!; and audiences around the UK can join the Royal Albert Hall crowd in singing along to excerpts from Lohengrin and Carousel in a climax to the BBC’s opera season. Dove, Jonathan, A song of Joys (BBC Commission, World Première) Tchaikovsky, Pyotr Ilyich (1840-1893), Variations on a Rococo Theme in A major, for cello and orchestra, Op.33 (arr.

The Gould Piano Trio is one of the UK's finest chamber ensembles, boasting an impressive discography, and festival appearances at Edinburgh, Cheltenham, City of London, Bath, Aldeburgh and the BBC Proms. The group have a special affinity with the 19th-century Romantic repertoire, and last year released a set of Brahms's complete music for piano trio to great acclaim, but they have also been active in commissioning and promoting new music. The composers in this concert are linked not only through a shared love of Czech folk music - Josef Suk was Dvořák's pupil, and eventually his son-in-law. Suk's 1902 Elegie was inspired by a cycle of poems about a Czech legend. Although he originally scored for violin, cello, string quartet, harmonium and harp, Suk quickly rearranged the work for the more saleable combination of piano trio. A yearning, heart-on-sleeve theme dominates, with contrast provided by a short but intense section that's tempestuous in tone, and highly evocative of gypsy music. A snatch of this makes a surprise reappearance towards the end, before a lull and a final reprisal of the main theme. Dvořak's 1883 piano trio echoes the style of his friend Brahms in its dramatic intensity and rhythmic interplay. However, its strong Czech flavour ensures it's still unmistakably Dvořak. Dark in tone, it was composed soon after the death of his mother. The long, frequently tempestuous first movement is dominated by its brooding opening theme, despite the cello offering a calmer second subject. A folky, polka-inflected Allegretto grazioso is followed by the most Brahmsian of the movements, a lushly romantic Poco Adagio that sets triple and duple meters against each other. Dance-like motives return for the Finale, but in a brooding, dramatic tone that recalls the opening Allegro.

| Kings Place: Hall One, London, London N1 9AG, United Kingdom Sunday 12-Sep-10 05:00pm Sacconi Quartet - Dumka and Dancing Tickets: £4.50. Rarely is there an opportunity in London to hear three giants of the piano quintet repertoire performed on one occasion. For these three concerts, pianist Simon Crawford-Phillips joins the Sacconi Quartet to bring the great piano quintets of Brahms, Schumann and Dvořak to the Kings Place stage. This afternoon of concerts is the first of a planned series in which these musicians will collaborate to perform all of the masterpieces in this genre. The Sacconi Quartet's innovative programming and exceptional playing mark them out in the British scene today. Their energy and creativity are bringing a new audience to chamber music with their concerts, recordings and outreach work. The Quartet makes a welcome return to Kings Place after their week of groundbreaking concerts, one of the highlights of the opening season. Simon Crawford-Phillips is renowned for his imaginative playing and dynamic musicianship. He is developing a diverse career as soloist, song accompanist, conductor, and pianist in the Kungsbacka Trio. Dvořak's 1887 quintet is a masterpiece of lyrical Bohemian spirit, its palette of moods ranging from unbounded joy to introspective melancholy. After the dramatic Allegro has whirled to a close, pathos enters with the Dumka, a type of melancholic Ukranian ballad. Well-oiled fingers are required for the merry Scherzo based on a Bohemian dance this time, the furiant. The triumphant rush to the equally light-hearted Finale's finish is heralded by an augmented pianissimo version of its theme.

| Palais des Beaux-Arts (BOZAR): Henri le Boeuf Concert Hall, Brussels, Rue Ravensteinstraat 23, B1000 Brussels, Belgium Wednesday 15-Sep-10 08:00pm Inner Beauty The second concert by Concerto Köln in this festival is an ode to the original sound environment of the late Romantic period. The programme will begin with Bizet’s Symphony in C Major, a glorious work written by the composer at the tender age of seventeen, followed by Dvorák’s enchanting Serenade for Strings, for a little variety and lightness. Next on the programme is an overture by Wagner. Bruckner always classified Mahler as one of the modernists, but Mahler himself considered himself to be a follower of Wagner in terms of style. The intimate nature of Mahler’s Rückert Lieder, for instance, shares many of the characteristics one would expect to fi nd in a Wagner lullaby. It is up to Werner Güra to escort us into this world of sound! | ||

| Royal Festival Hall, London, London, United Kingdom Wednesday 6-Oct-10 07:30pm Suk, Chopin and Dvořák So much great music is born of longing to be somewhere else. With the easy elegance and pruned sophistication of his Second Piano Concerto, Chopin hoped to endear himself to the opinion-forming concertgoers of Paris, 850 miles from his home in Warsaw. Antonín Dvořák had already hit the big-time when he wrote his New World Symphony. But parachuted into America to run New York’s fledgling music college, the composer felt himself longing for home: the Symphony’s spirituals and plantation songs – its shapely and contented melodies – are tinged with a slight Slavic sadness. | ||

| Royal Festival Hall, London, London, United Kingdom Saturday 9-Oct-10 07:30pm Dvořák Dvořák so often found words a hindrance rather than a help when tasked with setting them to music. But how could he be anything but inspired by the touching text depicting the weeping mother of Christ at the foot of the cross, the Stabat Mater? It certainly stirred something in Dvořák: melodies of fresh-minted beauty flow forth, the composer revels in intimacy and grandeur, poeticism and reverence. But before the solemnity of Dvořák’s first choral utterance, we hear the joyous outburst of his last: the blazing open-air Te Deum, a work of ear-bending strength and conviction; a true masterpiece in miniature. | ||
