Brilliance and brevity as Stravinsky’s Fireworks opens
a concert in which Charles Dutoit and the RPO
explore the sensuous orchestrations of Debussy’s
La mer and the second suite from Ravel’s Daphnis
and Chloe. The Proms focus on Polish music
continues as Leonard Elschenbroich, Daniel
Müller-Schott and Arto Noras are the soloists
in the Concerto grosso by Krzysztof Penderecki,
80 this year. Written in 2000 and championed
by Dutoit in Tokyo, Philadelphia and Chicago,
the concerto plays with Baroque forms, pitting
the trio of cellists against choirs of woodwind.

Tickets £7.50 - £36.

Prom 44: The Royal Philharmonic Orchestra and Charles Dutoit

Edward Whitney, 16th August

Concert programmes at the Proms often lean toward music of significant scale and heft. The requirement to fill the huge Royal Albert Hall, as well as capturing listeners’ attentions across the airwaves and in many different countries, means that huge expeditions, such as this year’s Ring cycle, are a perfect fit for the festival. Prom 44 was massive too, in its own way.
