Continuing our bicentenary focus on Mendelssohn, Riccardo Chailly conducts the orchestra of which the composer himself was music director for the last 12 years of his life, in the concerto that he had completed in just three days, at the age of 22, in 1831. As soloist, we welcome back Saleem Abboud Ashkar, who made his Proms debut in 2003, playing Mozart's Concerto for three pianos with Shai Wosner (Prom 55), alongside Daniel Barenboim (Proms 48, 49 and 50).
Begun in the shadows of a failing marriage and failing health, Mahler's Tenth Symphony was left unfinished at his death but triumphantly premiered at the 1964 Proms in a 'performing version' prepared by the English musicologist Deryck Cooke in collaboration with the late Berthold Goldschmidt, and later revised with the help of the composer-brothers Colin and David Matthews.
