Broadcasts
One of the most highly esteemed British tenors of our time brings a very personal contribution to the centenary celebrations for composer Elizabeth Maconchy: 'It is always such a pleasure to be able to sing English songs to a British audience, and the Shakespeare settings from Elizabeth, which she gave me in manuscript some 30 years ago, are a real delight.' Langridge also includes Britten's moving settings of Hardy, and a Schumann cycle which he describes as 'a kind of offering of the poet's songs to his beloved – the audience!'

Broadcasts
Broadcast on BBC FOUR Shakespeare's King of the Fairies, immortalised by Weber, contrasts with the equally fantastical, though darker-streaked German folk tales of Des Knaben Wunderhorn, a rich source of inspiration to Mahler, sung by the rich-toned Matthias Goerne who makes his long-awaited Proms debut. Closing with Schoenberg's orchestration of Brahms's ambitious Piano Quartet, tonight's Prom represents four generations of Austro-German composers, performed by this distinguished German orchestra and its new Chief Conductor, Paavo Järvi.
