Shakespeare's King of the Fairies, immortalised by Weber, contrasts with the equally fantastical, though darker-streaked German folk tales of Des Knaben Wunderhorn, a rich source of inspiration to Mahler, sung by the rich-toned Matthias Goerne who makes his long-awaited Proms debut. Closing with Schoenberg's orchestration of Brahms's ambitious Piano Quartet, tonight's Prom represents four generations of Austro-German composers, performed by this distinguished German orchestra and its new Chief Conductor, Paavo Järvi.
