(36) Cameron Carpenter (organ of the Royal Albert Hall, London)
More JS Bach, both unalloyed and as the basis for improvisation. Then Cameron Carpenter's grandest challenge yet: the 'Syncretic Prelude and Fugue' proceeds from the 'ultimate' chaconne to an astonishing transformation of the finale of Mahler's Fifth, demonstrating its own links with Bachian practice.
Says Cameron, 'The pairing of these two works is something I've only been able to attempt on a very few of the great organs of the world … it pushes me to my extreme utmost of both virtuosity and expressivity, which is exactly how I'd hope to perform at the Proms.'

8:00 PM. Music Alive

BBC Proms 2012
40 programmes from the world's greatest classical music festival
(37) Leipzig Gewandhaus Orch/Riccardo Chailly
Under its current chief, the Leipzig Gewandhaus Orchestra has been recovering its lost Mahler tradition.
Their second collaboration this year includes one of Mahler's most perfectly realised works, 'the only Sixth, despite the "Pastoral"' in the words of Alban Berg. This is music of exceptional range and power, whose fateful hammer-blows seem to portend the crises in Mahler's own life and the wider world.
Our curtainraiser is an imposing and vibrant memorial to the dead of two world wars, a compositional trailblazer in its own right.
