Following their performance of Wagner, Mahler and Webern at last year鈥檚 Proms, the Philharmonia Orchestra and Principal Conductor Esa-Pekka Salonen return with another programme of Austro-German classics.

Subtitled the 鈥楻omantic鈥�, Bruckner鈥檚 Symphony No. 4 is as vividly colourful as the composer鈥檚 original scenario for the work (later withdrawn) with its knights, maidens, hunting and dancing.

Brahms鈥檚 variations (also known as the 鈥楬aydn鈥� Variations) provide a vivacious opener, and prize-winning Norwegian soprano Lise Davidsen joins the orchestra in a sequence of songs by Richard Strauss, including the ecstatic 鈥楳orgen!鈥�.
