handsoff Posted April 9, 2009 Share Posted April 9, 2009 I've just had a very quick scan of the 2009 Prom schedule. There is a reasonable amount of organ music this year, albeit including an inordinate amount of Messiaen (again), but with one highlight on the Sunday afternoon in week3. There is also a Bach day later on with Simon Preston playing a goodly set. Saint-Saens No. 3 appears at the end of a Messiaen programme with Olivier Latry doing the honours.

Alas no Latry this year... Here's this year's link: http://www.bbc.co.uk/proms/2009/whatson/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
handsoff Posted April 9, 2009 Author Share Posted April 9, 2009 Oops! Thank you Ian; I thought it looked familiar but blamed it upon the early hour... I suppose the numbers 2,0,0, & 8 in the heading were the clue My coat is waiting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colin Harvey Posted April 9, 2009 Share Posted April 9, 2009 Looking at this year, I see David Titterington is playing Elgar Organ Sonatas 1 & 2 on Sat 25 July. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Carr Posted April 9, 2009 Share Posted April 9, 2009 My coat is waiting Easily done. (perhaps too easily? BBC webmaster please note!) I dashed back one Sunday to hear David Goode's Prom Concert last year, only to find that the schedule I'd seen it on was from the year before!! Duh.

Nick Bennett Posted April 9, 2009 Share Posted April 9, 2009 Well the BBC website did have a page to launch the 2009 Proms, but with a link to the 2008 programmes! Can't say there's much to tempt me into the 400 mile round trip, and 03:30 arrival home afterwards. Shostakovich 8 might. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
