Sunlight and sensitivity dominate Debussy's ravishing Pr茅lude 脿 l'apr猫s-midi d'un faune. The cooler shades of jazz shoot through Ravel's Piano Concerto in G major. Mark-Anthony Turnage's Hibiki (Japanese for "beautiful sound") makes reference to the earthquake and devastating tsunami which struck north-east Japan in 2011. A children's chorus and settings of Japanese poetry for soprano and mezzo-soprano soloists create a sequence of threnodies offering solace after loss. This is the European premiere.

[First heard on 14 August 2017]

Followed by a selection of recordings from this week's Proms Artists.
