| 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. Henry Wood) Jennifer Larmore, Mezzo-soprano Sergei Leiferkus, Baritone Steven Isserlis, Cello BBC Concert Orchestra Paul Daniel, Conductor Price type: Free | ||

| Benjamin and Marian Schuster Performing Arts Center: Mead Theatre, Dayton, OH, 1 West 2nd St, Dayton, 45402, United States Friday 24-Sep-10 08:00pm Demirjian Classical Connections Series: Beethoven: The Fidelio Overtures In this unique series, Music Director Neal Gittleman presents their stories and music by word, example, and a full performance of a major work or group of works. Our first connecting flight takes us to Vienna following the French Revolution. From this time of great social upheaval comes Beethoven’s only opera, Fidelio, featuring its central themes of freedom and heroism. Beethoven earned his self-described “martyr’s crown” for the struggles he endured in his quest for perfection. Neal tells this fascinating story of the evolution of the four different overtures written for Fidelio. | ||

| Royal Festival Hall, London, London, United Kingdom Tuesday 7-Dec-10 07:30pm Philharmonia Orchestra The 35 year old Richard Strauss caused a sensation with his tone poem 'A Hero’s Tale' when it was premièred in 1898, shocking musicians and critics with what was assumed to be an egotistical display of musical autobiography. Since then opinion has been divided between those who take the work at its face value and those who see it as an ironic statement of musical bombast. But few disagree that it is an extraordinary achievement, rich with flamboyance, colour and pictorial drama, and that the Hero – whoever he may be – is brought vividly and dramatically to life. In this evening’s performance it is paired with a different sort of heroic virtuosity, when the extraordinary Håkan Hardenberger performs Haydn’s glorious Trumpet Concerto. | ||
