A French Fantasy at the Proms plus chamber music from the East Neuk Festival

Tom McKinney with a performance from pianist Boris Giltburg and the Pavel Haas Quartet at the East Neuk Festival plus a chance to hear Lili Boulanger, Ravel and Faure at the Proms.

Today鈥檚 Classical Live includes another chance to hear last Wednesday night鈥檚 Prom featuring soprano Golda Schultz, tenor Laurence Kilsby, baritone Thomas Mole, 成人快手 Symphony Chorus, 成人快手 Symphony Orchestra, conducted by Ste虂phane Dene虁ve. The twin peaks of tonight鈥檚 all-French programme are two masterpieces from Gabriel Faure虂 and Maurice Ravel, beginning with the former鈥檚 consolatory Requiem, a work whose clean lines, pure vocal textures and elegant orchestrations appear to propose a new philosophy of religion. Also in the programme, Ravel鈥檚 suite for the ballet Daphnis and Chloe, evoking an ancient world of pastoral delights. Plus two prayers by Lili Boulanger, who died tragically young at 24, and Faure虂鈥檚 incidental music written for a London production of Maeterlinck鈥檚 Symbolist play Pelleas and Melisande complete the evening.

To start today鈥檚 Classical Live, there will be exclusively recorded performances from the East Neuk Festival in Fife. Pianist Boris Giltburg and the Pavel Haas Quartet join forces for music by Brahms.
