5.15pm Proms Intro Join Dr Elmar Weingarten, Executive Director of Tonhalle Orchestra Zurich, and musicians from the orchestra in conversation with Rob Cowan.
We welcome back US soprano Dawn Upshaw – who memorably made a chart-topping recording of Górecki's Symphony of Sorrowful Songs with tonight's conductor, David Zinman, in the early 1990s – to sing Osvaldo Golijov's acclaimed new work: an intense exploration of loss and consolation, in which the Argentine-born composer draws upon a ravishing range of colours to enhance the poetic imagery of four Schubert songs.
Tonight's opener represents the more public face of Schubert, with the overture published as part of his incidental music to Helmina von Chézy's play Rosamunde.
Dawn Upshaw returns after the interval to provide the angel's-eye view of Heaven at the end of Mahler's Fourth Symphony.
