本日は2003年8月以来の生プロムス（しかしこの時は何を聴いたのか全く記憶がありません）。
初のボックス席で、回りではグラスワインを飲んでいたり結構リッチな感じでしたが下の息子がまたまた熟睡してしまいインターバルで退出せざるを得ませんでした。
バルトークが聴けず残念でしたね。
Prom 42: Prokofiev, Neuwirth & Bartók
http://www.bbc.co.uk/proms/whats-on/2012/august-13/14203
指揮者のスザンナ・マルキさん。素顔はもっとチャーミングで本当にスリムな方でした。指揮棒を使わず華麗な手の動きで、これには息子も魅了されたようでした。
Susanna Mälkki returns to the Proms with two genre-defining 20th-century favourites. Revisiting the doomed love of Verona’s most romantic couple, Prokofiev’s Romeo and Juliet effectively revivified the evening-length ballet, just as Bartók’s Concerto for Orchestra cemented the potential of an apparently contradictory title.
Between these classics, Lawrence Power joins the Philharmonia Orchestra to tackle the fiendishly difficult solo part in Olga Neuwirth’s recent work for viola and orchestra, comprising five breathtaking, seething, allusion-rich movements.
本邦（英国）初演となった Olga Neuwirth さんのビオラ協奏曲 Remnants of Songs ... an Amphigory の演奏後、御本人も舞台に登場されて盛んな拍手を受けてみえましたね。
この方のインタビューも聴いてみたいと思っています。

2012 Season, Proms Composer Portraits
Olga Neuwirth talks to Andrew McGregor about her music and introduces two of her chamber works played by musicians from the Royal Academy of Music.
The subject of the third Composer Portrait of the 2012 Proms is the Austrian composer Olga Neuwirth, best known in the UK for her opera inspired by the David Lynch film 'Lost Highway'. Two of her chamber works are played by musicians from the Royal Academy of Music and introduced by the composer in conversation with Andrew McGregor. The pieces may be short and for small ensembles, but they both create a feeling of something much bigger - epic, even.
Olga Neuwirth: ... ad auras ... (in memoriam H.), for two violins and wooden drum (1999)
Marsyas II, for flute, viola, cello and piano (2005).
