Following Beethoven’s ‘Choral’
Symphony on the opening night
of the London Olympics
(Prom 18), the closing night
sees another choral blockbuster. Schoenberg’s
medieval love-tragedy is an early masterpiece in
which his late-Romantic voluptuousness attains
a radiant C major sunrise apotheosis.
Augmenting substantial BBC forces, JiΣí
BΔlohlávek welcomes two guest choirs. An
impressive international solo line-up is headed
by New Zealand tenor Simon O’Neill as Waldemar,
the cursed king. German soprano Angela Denoke
makes her Proms debut as Tove and Swedish
mezzo-soprano Katarina Karnéus returns as the
voice of the Wood-Dove.
