Debussy's exuberant celebration of spring, in which he sought to 'cover as wide a range of sensations as possible', and his fellow Frenchman's swirling deconstruction of the Viennese waltz, throw into relief Prokofiev's last Western commission before returning to the USSR, performed by the star soloist from 2005's First Night. David Matthews' Sixth Symphony, commissioned by the John S. Cohen Foundation, receives its first performance following the warm reception given to Matthews' Fifth Symphony at the Proms in 1999.
