Performance NotesSir Simon Rattle makes his first Proms appearance as the new Chief Conductor of one of Germany’s leading ensembles, the Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra.

After a highly anticipated new work written for the orchestra by longtime Rattle collaborator Thomas Ade`s, we conclude our Bruckner 200th-anniversary celebrations. Few scores convey Anton Bruckner’s distinctive combination of mystery and warmth like his Symphony No. 4, the so-called ‘Romantic’ symphony that has proved his most enduringly popular.
