BBC Proms 2009
Sunday 09 August
7:30pm - 8:25pm
BBC Radio 3



Expect a perfect frenzy of key-bashing in the two-concert extravaganza that is the Proms' Multiple Pianos Day. There's music for four to eight hands here with the delightful Labeque sisters starring in an afternoon Prom that includes a new specially commissioned work by the young Scottish composer Anna Meredith. The evening programme includes John Adams's Grand Pianola Music (described by the composer as "Beethoven and Rachmaninov soaking in the same warm bath as Liberace, Wagner, The Supremes, Charles Ives and John Philip Sousa") and Stravinsky's balletic evocation of a Russian peasant wedding, Les noces (for singers, chorus, percussion and four pianos).

Radio Times reviewer - David Gillard

From the Royal Albert Hall, London. Presented by Sarah Walker.

Piano Day at the Proms concludes, in extrovert style, with a plethora of pianists joining forces (and hands!) for some of the most striking multiple-keyboard music in the repertoire.

The notorious Ballet mecanique by George Antheil, 20th-century bad boy of American music, is performed by an ensemble which includes four pianos, a large array of percussion and two propellers. In John Adams' Grand Pianola Music, two pianos are joined by other instruments for a piece which references everything from Beethoven sonatas to marching band music, and was inspired by a dream of limo-sized Steinways chasing Adams down California's Interstate Highway 5.
