Performance Notes | A melody heard in a dream, a tribute to a dying genius, a vision of cosmic beauty: Bruckners Symphony No. 7 is the composers musical memorial to Richard Wagner. Its a homage that elevated the Austrian composer to new heights, a musical walk around a magnificent cathedral. A contemporary tribute opens tonights Prom: Ryan Wigglesworths for Laura, after Bach, dedicated to the memory of former BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra Leader Laura Samuel and inspired by her recording of a Bach Partita, played at her funeral. Mozarts stormy Piano Concerto No. 20 completes the programme, with Georgian pianist and former BBC Radio 3 New Generation Artist Mariam Batsashvili as the soloist. |
