Prom 61: Rattle Conducts Bruckner’s Fourth by Adès, Bruckner, From (2024/2024), Conductor Simon Rattle, Royal Albert Hall, London, United Kingdom

About This Event Sir Simon Rattle makes his first Proms appearance as the new Chief Conductor of one of Germany’s leading ensembles, the Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra. After a highly anticipated new work written for the orchestra by longtime Rattle collaborator Thomas Adès, we conclude our Bruckner 200th-anniversary celebrations. Few scores convey Anton Bruckner’s distinctive combination of mystery and warmth like his Symphony No. 4, the so-called ‘Romantic’ symphony that has proved his most enduringly popular.
