Robert Schumann: Genoveva 鈥� overture

J枚rg Widmann: Babylon Suite
London premiere

c.8.15pm: Interval Proms Plus
Britons have always explored - and drawn creative inspiration from - their landscapes. But what does the ancient terrain mean in the modern world? Playwright and rapper Testament, whose play Black Men Walking was inspired by a group of Black British walkers based in Sheffield, discusses the hidden histories of the countryside with writer and broadcaster Horatio Clare 鈥� who has recorded several long walks for 大象传媒 Radio 3 and the Slow Radio podcast. Presented by Eleanor Rosamund Barraclough. Produced by Zahid Warley.

c.8.35pm
Beethoven: Symphony No. 6 in F major, 'Pastoral'

Orchestre de Paris
Daniel Harding, conductor

Town or country? That's the choice offered here by Daniel Harding and the Orchestre de Paris.
Scored for a 90-strong orchestra, J枚rg Widmann鈥檚 explosive Babylon Suite (adapted from his 2012 opera) invites listeners into the all-consuming sonic chaos of the city 鈥� a babel of sound and sensation.
Beethoven鈥檚 Symphony No. 6, by contrast, takes listeners through fields and past brooks in its evocative portrait of pastoral life.
The concert opens with the gathering storm-clouds of the overture to Schumann鈥檚 only opera, Genoveva.

2 hours, 29 minutes
