Lovingly phrased and warmly expressive, it perhaps benefited from Ticciati’s recent engagement with Wagner’s Tristan und Isolde: certainly the long legato lines and richness of texture put one in mind of Brahms’s arch-rival

    • he Bruckner symphony was a transcendent experience. Ticciati, perhaps the most spiritual as well as naturally gifted of the younger conductors, drew playing of endlessly fascinating precision, ensured a marvellous blend at a marvellously adjusted pace, and, though he couldn’t be faulted for the sense of architectural cogency imparted, was at the same time supremely able to let the music breathe: an organism. It is, I think, Bruckner’s most perfect symphony, and this performance had me feeling it is his greatest.

Askonas Holt sends 26 artists and touring partners to BBC Proms 2025

/24 April 2025

This morning saw the announcement of this summer’s BBC Proms’ line-up, which is set to include performances from 26 Askonas Holt artists and touring partners.

Our Tours and Projects team is proud to once again be bringing the Wiener Philharmoniker to the Proms, following our 2019 collaboration with the orchestra and Bernard Haitink in what marked not only the year of the legendary maestro’s 90th birthday but also the 65th anniversary of his conducting debut. This summer we bring the Wiener Philharmoniker back to the Royal Albert Hall with Franz Welser-Möst for two performances – the first with Berg’s Lulu Suite paired with Bruckner’s Symphony No.9, and the second, Mozart’s Symphony No.38 Prague alongside Tchaikovsky’s Symphony No.6 Pathétique.

Cristian Măcelaru and the Orchestre National de France also return in collaboration with Askonas Holt for a French-themed programme that includes Ravel’s Rapsodie espagnole and La valse, as well as Bologne’s Violin Concerto and Chausson’s Poème, both with soloist Randall Goosby.

Our Tours and Projects team also brings mandolinist Avi Avital and his Between Worlds Ensemble for their Proms debut as they take the audience on a sonic tour of the countries that border the Black Sea, performing traditional Crimean Tatar music, Turkish folk and klezmer plus works by Bartók and Fazil Say.

Sir Simon Rattle gives two performances this summer; the first sees him team up with the wind, brass and percussion of the London Symphony Orchestra for folk-song arrangements by Vaughan Williams, Grainger and Arnold alongside Gunther Schuller’s trombone concerto. He follows that with his first performance with The Chineke! Orchestra conducting Shostakovich’s Symphony No.10.

Having recently been invited to become an Honorary Member, Robin Ticciati joins the Chamber Orchestra of Europe with soloist Golda Schultz for a programme of songs by Bernstein, Gershwin, Weill alongside Schreker’s Chamber Symphony and Stravinsky’s ballet The Firebird. The appearance marks Robin’s first with the COE at the Proms and the ensemble’s first appearance since their 2017 performance under Bernard Haitink.

Edward Gardner is back with the London Philharmonic Orchestra for a 20th-century programme of Debussy’s La mer, Sibelius’s The Oceanides and Ravel’s song-cycle Shéhérazade.

Thomas Adès leads the BBC Symphony in a performance of music from his own opera The Tempest alongside Sibelius’s tone-poem The Swan of Tuonela.

Domingo Hindoyan and the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic are joined by trumpeter Pacho Flores in his Proms debut for Arturo Márquez’s Concierto de otoño presented alongside Dvořák’s Symphony No.9 From the New World and Jennifer Higdon’s Blue Cathedral.

Peter Whelan makes his Proms debut conducting the Irish Baroque Orchestra in Handel’s Alexander's Feast with countertenor Hugh Cutting as soloist. The performance marks the ensemble’s Proms debut, making them only the second Irish orchestra to perform at the Festival in its more than 125-year history.

Conductor Laureate Tadaaki Otaka returns with the BBC National Orchestra of Wales for Rachmaninoff’s Piano Concerto No.2 with soloist Vadym Kholodenko, alongside Lutosławski’s Concerto for Orchestra. Recent signing Benjamin Grosvenor also joins forces with the BBC National Orchestra of Wales under the baton of Ryan Bancroft for Ravel’s Piano Concerto in G major.

Cellist Johannes Moser presents the UK premiere of Anna Thorvaldsdottir’s concerto Before we fall with the BBC Symphony Orchestra and conductor Eva Ollikainen. Next month sees Johannes give the world premiere of the piece with the San Francisco Symphony conducted by Dalia Stasevska.

Four Askonas Holt singers make debuts in Shostakovich’s Lady Macbeth of the Mtsensk District with the BBC Philharmonic. Amanda Majeski, John Findon and Ava Dodd all make their Proms debuts as Katerina, Zinovy and Aksinya/Convict respectively, while Nicky Spence returns making a role debut as Sergey.

Also making their Proms debuts are Jasmin White who joins the Danish National Symphony Orchestra and Fabio Luisi for Beethoven’s Symphony No.9, and Sarah Dufresne who also makes a role debut singing Sister Genovieffa in Suor Angelica with the London Symphony Orchestra and Sir Antonio Pappano.

Jess Dandy and Ashley Riches return with the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra singing Stravinsky’s last major work - the Requiem Canticles, and Laurence Kilsby joins the BBC Symphony Orchestra for Arthur Bliss’ The Beatitudes.

Outside of London, Benjamin Hulett joins the Royal Northern Sinfonia at the Glasshouse as soloist for Mendelssohn’s Symphony No.2 Lobgesang. Also at the Glasshouse, Ema Nikolovska celebrates the centenary of the birth of Pierre Boulez with his Le marteau sans maître as part of a touring project with guitarist Sean Shibe and friends.

The BBC Proms 2025 runs from Friday 18 July to Saturday 13 September, with all performances broadcast live on BBC Radio 3 and streamed on BBC Sounds. To view the full line-up, please click here.
