About This Event

Latvian organist Iveta Apkalna makes her Proms debut with a programme of French 19th- and 20th-century music.

Widor鈥檚 thrilling Organ Symphony No. 5, with its famous final-movement Toccata, offers sprawling, extrovert drama, a mood it shares with prize-winning French composer-organist Thierry Escaich鈥檚 exuberant 脡惫辞肠补迟颈辞苍蝉, with their nods to Baroque and Renaissance music.

Works by Franck and Bach鈥檚 great G major Fantasia, with its 鈥榳onderful variations and foreign tones鈥�, complete the programme given on the Royal Albert Hall鈥檚 famous 鈥楩ather鈥� Willis organ.

There will be no interval
