  (23) SCHOENBERG: Gurrelieder

  Following Beethoven's 'Choral' Symphony which was performed in the Proms on the opening night of the London Olympics, the closing night saw another choral blockbuster. Schoenberg's medieval love-tragedy is an early masterpiece in which his late-Romantic voluptuousness attains a radiant C major sunrise apotheosis.

  Augmenting substantial BBC forces, Jukka-Pekka Saraste welcomes two guest choirs. An impressive international solo line-up is headed by New Zealand tenor Simon O'Neill as Waldemar, the cursed king. German soprano Angela Denoke makes her Proms debut as Tove and Swedish mezzo-soprano Katarina Karnéus returns as the voice of the Wood-Dove.

  Philosophy Talk

  Presented by Ken Taylor and John Perry of Stanford University

  Six programmes

  (6) Ageing and the well-lived life

  Ageing is a physical process that will always be with us. But conceptions of ageing, views about the contributions older people can make to society, and what society owes them, change from era to era and differ from culture to culture. In conjunction with the Stanford Humanities Center, John and Ken explore the issues involved in growing older with their guest, Stanford University psychologist Laura Carstensen and a live studio audience at the Hyatt Residence in Palo Alto (Ben Manilla Productions)

  BBC Proms 2012

  (24) BRITTEN: Peter Grimes, an opera in three acts

  First staged a month after VE Day, Britten's searing psychological drama set in a claustrophobic Suffolk fishing community was the critical and popular success that effectively established a new kind of English operatic tradition.

  ENO has kept the opera at the heart of its repertoire and tonight's concert performance is based on a sold-out production hailed as a 'superb company achievement' on its first outing in 2009. Australian tenor Stuart Skelton once again heads the cast with his remarkable, multifaceted portrayal of the disturbed outsider.

  Peter Grimes................ Stuart Skelton

  Ellen Orford................ Amanda Roocroft

  Balstrode..................... Iain Paterson

  Auntie.......................... Rebecca de Pont Davies

  Swallow....................... Matthew Best

  Ned Keene................... Leigh Melrose

  Bob Boles.................... Michael Colvin

  First Niece................... Gillian Ramm

  Second Niece............... Mairéad Buicke
