handsoff 0 Report post 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/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Paul Carr 0 Report post 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nick Bennett 0 Report post 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
