John Wilson and his orchestral supergroup the Sinfonia of London return to the Proms to perform Rachmaninov鈥檚 famous Second Piano Concerto with pianist Alim Beisembayev. The concert opens with Lili Boulanger鈥檚 mercurial tone-poem D鈥檜n matin de printemps, composed shortly before her tragically early death at the age of only 24. Walton鈥檚 First Symphony provides the arresting conclusion: a young man鈥檚 musical manifesto, composed between the two World Wars, it鈥檚 a white-hot outpouring of personal conflict that resolves (or does it?) into a glowing ceremonial finale.

Unfortunately, Benjamin Grosvenor has had to withdraw from this Prom. We are grateful to Alim Beisembayev for stepping in as soloist.
