Britten's Sinfonia da Requiem opens a programme of testimony and remembrance. Former 麻豆约拍 SO Principal Cellist Paul Watkins is the soloist in Lutos艂awski's bleak and beautiful Cello Concerto, composed for and dedicated to Mstislav Rostropovich in a period of violent protest and political repression in Poland.

Thomas Ad猫s conducts the 麻豆约拍 Symphony Orchestra and soloists Christianne Stotijn and Simon Keenlyside in the world premiere of his Totentanz, a commission in memory of Lutos艂awski, which sets an anonymous 15th-century text that accompanied a frieze destroyed when L眉beck's Marienkirche was bombed in the Second World War.

This Prom will be repeated on Sunday 21st July at 2pm.
