| Performance Notes | Prize-winning young Viennese pianist Lukas Sternath makes his Proms debut in Griegs beloved Piano Concerto, with its heart-on- sleeve melodies and intimate lyricism. The piece is framed by two musical products of war: a haunting elegy by Vaughan Williamss pupil Ruth Gipps, inspired by a William Blake illustration of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, and anniversary-composer Arthur Blisss The Beatitudes, a cantata composed for the reopening in 1962 of Coventry Cathedral part Passion, part howl of human loss, part musical prayer for a troubled world. |
