Royal College of Music | Thursday 13 October | Amaryllis Fleming Concert Hall
This concert is dedicated to the London Philharmonic Orchestra's founder Sir Thomas Beecham in the 50th anniversary year of his death in 1961.From its monolithic opening theme – kick starting a cycle of inexorable momentum like a giant pendulum – to the breathless dash of its finale, Schubert’s Ninth offers one of the most riveting journeys of any symphony. No wonder it attracted the nickname ‘Great’. Even its gently undulating Andante is filled with suspense. If Yannick Nézet-Séguin wants to convey a sense of impassioned drama in this concert, he’s chosen the right piano concerto by Mozart, too: dark, tragic undertones haunt the Concerto No. 20, the piano eventually tearing into a furious finale whose dark storm clouds are only parted by the appearance of a radiant major key.

BBC Proms | 7 September
Bridge, Sir Harrison Birtwistle & Holst: This Prom promises to demonstrate the sheer diversity of British music with the UK premiere of Birtwistle’s “Concerto for Violin an Orchestra”, Bridge’s “Isabella”- a beautiful symphonic poem featuring some passionate string writing, and culminating in Holst’s astounding “The Planet’s”, with the extensiveness of the orchestra (including some instruments not usually found in the orchestra, such as the much underused euphonium!) producing some incredible sonorous sound. This truly is one prom not to be missed.
