For me.....
Berg 7 early songs
Knussen Violin Concerto with Leila Josefowiz
The Vengerov late night tango thingy
Mahler 10
and more to come, I am sure (especially when I have seen who's doing what and how the programmes fit together)

Well, I think it looks a rather good programme and am particularly looking forward to Salonen, Abbado, Davis, Barenboim and, of course, Mackerras (even if he is not doing as much as I would like). However, there's only one thing tempting enough to persuade me to travel all the way down to hear it - Prom 39: Runnicles, Brewer, Wagner, need I say more. It's nice to see there are some differences in Jansons and Tilson Thomas's programmes compared with what they're bringing to Edinburgh. bws |

MF Pedant's corner, sorry; but Sinfonia was written in 1968, which would make this a, er, 39th anniversary performance, wouldn't it?! I haven't seen the programme - how are they billing it? |

I’m looking forward to the day when British music is more pominent at the proms and not some sort of appendage. There are many composers who do not get a look in at this British music festival such as Robert Simpson, Havergal Brian, Geoffery Bush, William Alwyn, Benjeman Frankel . . . the list goes on. OK, I can dream.

Your'e quite right to pick me up on this Martle- I think they may have got round it by saying 40 anniversary of its commissioning or something, I have'nt seen the blurb.Its a big thing for the Swinglers because (hearteningly imho) its been in their regular repertoire ever since. Saker-Farkel, I totally agree. There has been a festival of neglected British Music at Dorchester-on-Thames for a couple of years now (RPO basically) -lovely church, hell of a squeeze-I think its Octoberwards. |

Rather more than usual, I'd say including
Ives 4 on 17th July
Varese Ecuatorial (+ Britten Piano Concerto) on 31st July
Sibelius on 15th August
and a couple of concerts conducted by Knussen.
I winced when I noticed Yusupov's Viola Tango Rock Concerto - hideous audience-grabbing title. No doubt I'll tune in to see if my worst suspicions are confirmed.

I'm looking forward to a lot, I feel the programme is better than for several years.
Bach with Suzuki, and Rameau with JEG in particular.
I look forward to a Proms season without bleedin' Rhapsody in Blue.
(Dives for cover!)
Yes, yes, I know you like it - but I DONT!
