Proms 2019 your highlight concerts

[Barbirollians]

VPO/Haitink and Argerich/Barenboim - di Donato and Pappano in Nuits d Ete.

di Donato and Pappano in Nuits d Ete.

- JEGgers and Benvenuto Cellini, Voces8 (I think the only concert that includes Music from before 1500?) and the Bach "Orchestral" Suites. Possibly the Battersea Arts Centre event, too.

Otherwise it's "bits & bobs" scattered around the season for me. (And several evenings watching telly/playing CDs.)

For me, the Bayerischer Rundfunk Orchester are always worth listening to/watching.

Can someone with the printed publication please advise when (date, start time, duration) the Battersea Arts Centre event is scheduled for? The appallingly badly designed inline listing has nothing to say about such details.

15.00 - 16.30 Sat 27 July says Proms website

Thanks, as I eventually found via Google. https://www.royalalberthall.com/tick...a-arts-centre/ was no help at all.

They still haven't bothered to improve the functionality of the site, this has been going on for years with no change.

Cellini looks a must for me. Glad to see Bernie is back with the VPO. I don't care for the programmes they are bringing but, personally, I'd go and listen to the BRSO whatever they were playing. Nelsons doesn't sound like a natural Brucknerian to me so I am prepared to be underwhelmed by his concert.

I noticed the BBC News website was all about the gimmicky Proms. I don't think they said a word about classical music, which accounts for well over 90% of the season. I know this is pat for the course now but it never stops being irritating and depressing.

[Eine Alpensinfonie]

The two Vienna Phil concerts
Jegger's Berlioz
Alpine Symphony with the NYO brass players for the offstage band
Elgar's Music Makers

Lots more though.

[Edgy 2]

Weinberg 3rd Symphony (one of the most beautiful ear worm openings to any Symphony IMO).
Trouble is I’ll be house,dog and guinea pig sitting for my daughter so can’t go.
The Weinberg Cello Concerto is a masterpiece,again IMO,and well worth putting up with 15 mins of Sibelius for,so I’m going to try and get to that.
Norra lorra RVW.

Nothung. Roll on 2020.

11.00 in the morning.

Great.
Sigh.

I usually find that the concerts become more appealing the closer they get. I certainly hope that is the case this year.

And the reasoning that Pickard gives for not having much Berlioz is bloody feeble, in all honesty.

Andrew you're a I haven't even troubled the official site: your page is all I need for the moment, and indeed will be the only thing I look at until I come to book something

That said....

Same here. Looked through and to be honest at the moment there is only one concert that attracts me (the Dresden/Myung-Whun Chung Rach PC3/Brahms 2).

Often changes depending on who's around over the summer etc. - I've tended more to use the Proms to introduce others to things, rather than being prompted by my own gratification .... and then end up really enjoying something that hadn't struck me at all at first sight!

Edgy, pay someone else to look after house, dog and guinea pig and just go! The chances of catching a live Weinberg symphony at the Proms again are remote so plenty of time to move heaven and earth.
