Prom 44 Part One

Live from the Royal Albert Hall, London.

Christine Schäfer's mesmerising portrayal of Lulu, Berg's seductive and enigmatic heroine, is still remembered from the 1996 Proms season. She revisits the character in Berg's Lulu Suite. Then in complete contrast, in the second part of the concert, she sings the magical and innocent vision of heaven which ends Mahler's most classical symphony, his Symphony No 4.

Composer of the Week

Ernst von Dohnányi (1877-1960)

Part Four

Despite Dohnányi's selfless dedication to the musical welfare of his country, events conspired against him. He ill-advisedly made a decision which was to give his enemies the ammunition they needed to vilify his name, and as a result he was accused of having Nazi sympathies and branded a war criminal.

Donald Macleod introduces the work Dohnányi wrote in the midst of this nightmarish turmoil - his 2nd Symphony.

Impromptu and Landler from Six Pieces, Op 41
Ernst von Dohnányi (piano)
