Proms 75: Part 1

on BBC Radio 3

Direct from the Royal Albert Hall, London

Tamas Vasary (piano) Jennifer Bate (organ)
BBC Symphony Orchestra, leader Eli Goren, conducted by Rudolf Kempe

Prokofiev Suite: The Love of Three Oranges

Liszt Variations on a theme of Bach: Weinen, Klagen, Sorgen, Zagen
Sir Lennox Berkeley Says:
'Occasional organ solos now play a popular and regular part in the Proms, and Jennifer Bate, tonight's soloist, is one of our most brilliant younger organists. The Albert Hall organ is the second largest in the country (the largest is in Liverpool's Anglican Cathedral) but it is by no means merely a late Victorian monster. It has a wide variety of orchestrally evocative stops (ideal for performing Liszt's Variations on a theme of Bach in tonight's concert) which allow it to achieve far more than just sheer volume.'

Liszt Piano Concerto No 1, in E flat major
