BBC Proms: First Night 2019

In 2019, Karina Canellakis made history as the first woman to conduct the First Night of the BBC Proms, London's premier summer music festival.

Rossini's La Cenerentola at La Scala

Rossini's operatic version of the Cinderella tale abounds in comedy and vocal virtuosity. Claudio Abbado conducted this 1981 production directed by Jean-Pierre Ponnelle at Milan's La Scala, featuring soprano Frederica von Stade.

Rameau's Platée with William Christie and Les Arts Florissants

Conductor William Christie, renowned for his work in French Baroque opera, leads his ensemble, Les Arts Florissants, in a 2020 production directed by Robert Carsen of Rameau's hilarious and unconventional farce, Platée, originally written for the wedding of the Dauphin of France, son of Louis XV, at Versailles in 1745.

Strauss's Die Fledermaus at the Bavarian State Opera

Johann Strauss (ii)'s high-spirited operetta Die Fledermaus (The Bat) was a signature work for Austrian conductor Carlos Kleiber who leads this production in 1986 at the Bavarian State Opera directed by Otto Schenk. The ever-popular work by the "Waltz King" sparkles with polkas, waltzes, intrigue, and champagne.

Encounters with Mendelssohn with Anne-Sophie Mutter

In this short documentary, acclaimed violinist Anne-Sophie Mutter reflects on her affinity for the music of Felix Mendelssohn, whose works are touchstones of the early Romantic era.

Music by Debussy with Herbert von Karajan & Berliner Philharmoniker

Herbert von Karajan's performances of French music were revered for their refinement of detail and lustrous color palette-qualities displayed in this memorable interpretation of Debussy's sensuous and haunting early masterwork Prelude to the Afternoon of a Faun, performed by the Berliner Philharmoniker in 1978.

Gidon Kremer with Leonard Bernstein & Vienna Philharmonic

Brahms wrote only one violin concerto, a work of great warmth and yearning with a folk-like finale. Celebrated violinist Gidon Kremer gives a highly personal performance with the Vienna Philharmonic under Leonard Bernstein from 1982.

Carnegie Hall+ also adds three performances this month featuring Daniel Barenboim, showcasing his accomplished work on the podium and at the keyboard:

Brahms's Piano Concertos with Staatskapelle Berlin

Conductor for life of the 450-year-old Staatskapelle Berlin, Barenboim appears as soloist in Brahms's piano concertos-towering cornerstones of the Romantic repertoire-performing under the baton of Gustavo Dudamel in this 2014 concert at the Philharmonie Berlin.

Debussy 100th at Berlin's Pierre Boulez Saal

On the occasion of the 100th anniversary of Debussy's death in 2018, Barenboim assembled renowned musicians including mezzo-soprano Marianne Crebassa, flutist Emmanuel Pahud, violinist Michael Barenboim, violist Yulia Deyneka, cellist Kian Soltani, and harpist Aline Khouri in Berlin's Pierre Boulez Saal, to present chamber works and songs by the great French composer.

In addition, two phenomenal performances by Amsterdam's internationally renowned Concertgebouw Orchestra feature two recently-departed close collaborators: Mariss Jansons and Bernard Haitink.

Concertgebouw Orchestra with Mariss Jansons and Yuja Wang

This Concertgebouw Orchestra performance, led by Mariss Jansons in 2014, features a meeting of two Soviet musical giants. The program includes Shostakovich's barbed and brilliant Piano Concerto No, 1, with soloist Yuja Wang and Prokofiev's wartime Symphony No. 5. The program opens with Rossini's devilish Overture to La gazza ladra.

Concertgebouw Orchestra with Bernard Haitink and Mitsuko Uchida

Bernard Haitink led this 2018 concert with the Concertgebouw Orchestra, featuring Mitsuko Uchida as soloist in Mozart's mature and lyrical Piano Concerto No. 23, followed by Bruckner's rich and imaginative Sixth Symphony.
