Interval: Proms Plus: Sebastian Faulks, OBE, author of best-selling novels including Charlotte Grey and Birdsong, comes to the Proms to talk about his new novel Paris Echo. It tells the story of Hannah, a 31-year-old American, who is researching the lives of French women during the German occupation of Paris in 1940-1944. Set against this is the tale of Tariq, a 19-year-old boy who has run away from his home in Morocco, searching for sex and adventure. Does history and a greater cultural awareness help us lead better lives? Presented by Anne McElvoy

Bruckner: Symphony No 4 in E flat major 'Romantic'
Yefim Bronfman, piano
Rotterdam Philharmonic Orchestra
Yannick NΓ©zetβSΓ©guin, conductor
The Rotterdam Philharmonic Orchestra celebrates its 100th anniversary with its first visit to the Proms in five years, under the baton of Chief Conductor Yannick NΓ©zet-SΓ©guin. Subtitled the βRomanticβ by the composer, Brucknerβs Fourth Symphony draws deeply on the German Romantic tradition of Weber and Wagner for its colourful musical drama. Yefim Bronfman is the soloist in Lisztβs Second Piano Concerto, a work originally conceived as a βconcerto symphoniqueβ, which offers a fascinating reimagining of the traditional relationship between soloist and orchestra.
