鈥楢ll the floodgates within me have opened鈥� my whole being points me towards this symphony.鈥� Proms favourites Nicholas Collon and the Aurora Orchestra are back to lift the bonnet on another symphonic masterwork.
Fifteen years in the making, Mahler鈥檚 First Symphony was a major statement of intent 鈥� a musical distillation of the composer鈥檚 life in sound, from klezmer bands to the natural world, folk dances to funeral marches, symphony and song united as one.
A dramatised first half featuring mezzo-soprano Natalie Lewis introduces both the music and the story behind it, before a complete performance of the symphony after the interval.
