Juanjo Mena presents a major world premiere before
offering his acclaimed reading of a sonorous yet
dangerously eruptive Bruckner symphony. First
though, there’s the emblematic love of Tristan and
Isolde, expressed through music dark in sound and
revolutionary in harmony. James MacMillan’s works
have enjoyed regular success at the Proms since the
first performance of The Confession of Isobel Gowdie
was given here in 1990. As with Bruckner, MacMillan’s
communicative power is often associated with
expressions of faith, and the unveiling of Credo,
has been keenly awaited.
