Thomas Adès: Aquifer (UK premiere)

c.7.50pm
INTERVAL: The Listening Service
Bruckner and the Symphonic Boa Constrictors
When Brahms compared Anton Bruckner's epic symphonies to being caught in the inescapable, suffocating coils of a giant snake, had he misunderstood Bruckner's bold originality? Tom Service makes the case for Bruckner, defending his music against both detractors and admirers.

c.8.05pm
Anton Bruckner: Symphony No. 4 in E flat major, ‘Romantic’

Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra
Sir Simon Rattle (conductor)

Sir Simon Rattle makes his first Proms appearance as the new Chief Conductor of one of Germany’s leading ensembles, the Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra. After a highly anticipated new work written for the orchestra by long-time Rattle collaborator Thomas Adès, we conclude our Bruckner 200th-anniversary celebrations. Few scores convey Anton Bruckner’s distinctive combination of mystery and warmth like his Symphony No. 4, the so-called ‘Romantic’ symphony that has proved his most enduringly popular.
