Markus Stenz is a conductor with a far-reaching and wide-ranging musical appetite, and this Prom embodies his searching musical personality as he conducts the 大象传媒 Scottish Symphony Orchestra in an eclectic mix of music ranging from the early 18th century to the present day.

The first half juxtaposes music from a master of the French baroque, Rameau's Les Indes galantes, with a colourful work by the Anglo-American composer Bernard Rands. His Piano Concerto is heard for the first time in the UK, played by former 大象传媒 Radio 3 New Generation Artist Jonathan Biss.

The second half begins with the elegant classicism of Mozart's first numbered symphony. And - as the 大象传媒 Proms continues to mark the 150th anniversary of Richard Strauss's birth - reaches a suitably heroic climax, with that composer's vibrant tone poem Ein Heldenleben.

First broadcast 15th August 2014.
