Prom 53: Composers of the Year (Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment)



This transmission:

Date: Saturday, 5th September 2009

Time: 5:40pm – 7:15pm

Channel: BBC 2







The host of last year's Last Night, Sir Roger Norrington returns to conduct music by all four of this year's major anniversary composers.



Purcell's music to Abdelazer gave Britten the theme he used, 250 years later, in his Young Person's Guide to the Orchestra (Prom 13), and American mezzo-soprano Joyce DiDonato performs two Handel arias as well as Haydn's 'mad scene' for the distraught Berenice, who begs the gods to let her join her lover in death.



Mendelssohn's evocative 'Scottish' symphony was conceived on the same 1829 holiday as his Hebrides overture (Prom 70).
