Proms 2024

[Barrymagrec]

Received the new Prom guide today, despite my fears after the original announcements there seems to be a fair bit of good stuff - not prom 2, obviously....

Daniel Barenboim and Simon Rattle bringing their orchestras, Pappano doing the Britten War Requiem among the treats.

I must have a look. I’ll see if it’s on line.

[Del monaco]

Mahler Songs and symphonies, some Tchaikovsky and Bruckner for me!

 

[narabdela]

Enough good stuff there to keep me happy, and a few stinkers(imo) to be avoided.

 

[les24preludes]

A lot more crossover and pop music starting to appear. No doubt a trend that will continue... Also a lot of female conductors now.

Not much of interest to me, maybe these. The Albert Hall is just a short bus ride from me.

PROM 50 - Czech PO: Kaprálová Military Sinfonietta, Dvořák Piano Concerto in G minor, Janáček Glagolitic Mass

Prom 5 is an interesting permutation, The Mermaid was in the shadow of Pelleas following their premieres so having it as the main piece should bring it the attention it deserves.

Prom 18, yuk!

 

[Mr J]

Prom 43 features the CBSO performing the Henry Wood orchestration of Pictures at an Exhibition, as recently mentioned by marshanp on the concert chat thread. (I'd add a link but it's not working for me.) I'll be tuning in to that one.

 

[narabdela]

Prom 18, yuk!

In spades.

 

[TheDecameron]

Prom 18, yuk!

Is it “Greats from the Eurovision Song Contest”? Reservations about P55, the BPO, Ólafsson, Robert Schumann Concerto. He gave it in Berlin with them in August last year and he struck me as a fish out of water with this repertoire .

I bet Rattle with the BvRSO in P61,62 will be incredible. You get to hear what he does with Bruckner compared with Kirill Petrenko and the BPO a few days apart.
